A "Makarapa" is a South-African item that is designed as a workman’s safety helmet that has been turned into a customizable soccer fan helmet. MINI created its own for a Countryman and stated in a press release:"From humble beginnings – just like MINI – the Makarapa has grown into a style institution: unique, quirky and an extension of its owner’s individual personality. . . . So it is obvious that MINI follows this style and creates its own Makarapa-design in South Africa."
