Description Khoisan’s natural salt production facility is located in Velddrift on St. Helena Bay – about 140 km north of Cape Town on the west coast of South Africa. Khoisan Trading employs 15 full-time staff and 2 part-time or seasonal employees. At the peak of the harvesting season from October to the end of March, the number increases up to 25 employees. Over the last four centuries, the harvesting technique of the unique Khoisan salt has not changed. Even today, the only way to obtain pure, perfect salt is through an elaborate, traditional hand harvesting process, which was learned centuries ago by the indigenous people and is now practiced by the African salt farmers. At no time do the salt flakes go through any artificial purification process.
