IN PICS: Flea market brings Wyebank community together
The Natural Living Flea Market raised funds for the local temple, showcasing community spirit and support.
WYEBANK residents showed strong community spirit when they gathered at the Natural Living Flea Market recently.
Organised and hosted by the Wyebank Shiva Sungum, the event was held to raise funds for the temple
One of the organisers, Sugi Naidoo, said the Natural Living market was planned by the devotees, seeing that their community has not hosted such an event before.
The aim is to host it once every three months.
“The temple needs funding for day to day operations, maintenance and upkeep of the temple and hall. Money is solely used for maintenance and upkeep of the temple and hall,” explained Naidoo.
She stated that the temple has been in existence for more than 50 years and has played a pivotal role, not only on the religious aspect but the upliftment of the community at large.
On the day of the market, there were 25 stalls which sold a variety of items, including food, plants, new and used clothing, household items, towels, fresh vegetables, and costume jewellery, while face painting was also offered.
“The highlight was the sit down tea/coffee and muffins station that was hosted by the Sungum,” said Naidoo.
She invited the public to join them for service on a Sunday and Monday.
“In that way we can increase the numbers and give much more back to our community.”
