imbovane the name

Imbovane is taken from the IsiXhosa word meaning ANT

We chose this name for our business, because ants are proverbial for their industriousness. They are typical social insects articulating strength, diligence, willpower, honesty, unity, patience, determination, stamina, sacrifice and loyalty. Emphatically like the values that our business embodies. The ant as a spirit animal possesses immense strength of accomplishment, reminding you that nothing comes easy in life without any effort.

“It’s not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: what are we busy about?”

Henry David Thoreau
