We began the day
on The Morning Cruise by talking with Mbalentle, Odwa, and Zano who are hosting
an event called Market Day this Sunday 30 July, where locals can sell their
wares. The aim of Market Day is to enable local vendors to
network with each other in order to develop township brands. In addition to all
the stalls where locals will be selling their wares, Market Day will have food for
customers as well as screens where vendors and customers alike can watch the
soccer match also happening on Sunday.
The first Market
Day showcased 24 stalls and was quite a success. Mbalentle’s vision is that
future Market Days will grow in size and that more and more local vendors will
flock to the market in Philippi rather than travel further to the City
Center to advertise and sell their goods. She encourages anyone who is young
and creative to come to Market Day.
Listen to the
whole interview below for a deeper look at Market Day and check out their flyer
for the event details.
