Julie Ntumba makes brilliant car organisers to help people keep their vehicles tidy; she started her business in 2017 and has gone from strength to strength.
Johannesburg, South Africa (04 March 2022) – We all know a messy car person; no matter how hard they try, they cannot keep the car organised. One woman makes nifty car organisers that can be moved around as needed and keep things in their place.
Julie Ntumba started sewing in 2017 to support her four children. Her husband tragically passed away, and she was left to be the sole breadwinner. Julie launched her business “Truly Julie” and has not looked back. Over the years, she has built a supportive customer base and has been celebrated by the I Have A Name page too.
The anonymous photographer from I Have A Name shared one of Julie’s creations leading up to the festive season. We saw it recently and thought it was perfect for those trying to find their balance and get more organised. The photographer shared Julie’s car organiser.
“No more mess in the car, on the back seat, on the floor. Just chuck it in the pickit up bag which nicely attaches with an adjustable strap to the front seat. Handy pockets along the front and side allows for all those loose things like masks, pens, wipes, glasses, tissues, water bottles we all have lying around in the car. The velcro top allows you to close the main bag as well so it looks tidy even if you are using it as a bin. Lined with cooler box lining, you can even keep your drinks cool during a long drive, or arrive at school with ice lollies that aren’t melted! Julie makes them and by supporting her, you support a talented single mom with 4 kids. Check what fabrics she has in stock for a personalized pocket finish.”
Take a look at the organisers below.

“I Have A Name” is a space where an anonymous photographer (we’ll call her J) takes photos of everyday people to showcase their incredible stories.
How do we bridge the great South African divides? Black vs white, young vs old, rich vs poor, men vs women? The divides that keep us from making eye contact with the beggar standing on the street corner or the stranger in the lift.
CS Lewis said, “There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations – these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit – immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously – no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.”
Come with me on a journey…the stories and names behind the faces of everyday South Africans living their life in your neighbourhood, on your streets.
I think you will discover that we have a lot in common.
