The Ongoing Vision
As an unfolding and ongoing vision of Andile Dyalvane’s and the Imiso Ceramics team, we desire to create an environment that encourages wholeness where Dyalvane attended his formative educational Primary School years in his home village of Ngobozana, Eastern Cape.
Our vision strives to achieve creating spaces of creative, wholesome educational ecosystems that nurture all individuals interacting and encountering the Culture of Ngobozana Primary School, as a start.

Through building partnerships with various entities who align and show interest in our shared vision, we wish to outline the overall greater prospects of creating collaborative programs that form ‘The League of Legacy’, which we view as shared ideals reached by creative minds coming together to collectively participate toward the wellbeing of our current and future generations.
We begin with the founding ethos that Dyalvane & Imiso Ceramics team expresses as sentiments rooted in the very name ‘Imiso’, derived from the isiXhosa word ‘Ngomso’ meaning ‘Tomorrow’.
Assigned to ‘Imiso’ in meaning is our practiced responsibility and duty to create today for the benefit of future generations - for our many tomorrows.
