Natasha Koekemoer, with her vast knowledge of the flea market industry, has once again hit on a winner when she established the city’s first permanent Indoor Flea Market at the City Centre.

Situated on the second floor, it is growing by leaps and bounds, with more customers visiting on a daily basis. The stalls have increased, and an additional 17 new vendors now provide buyers with even more options seven days a week.

Stall owners have the benefit of leaving their products overnight in a safe environment, catering for all seasons, come rain or shine. Until now, vendors had to pack up their merchandise every day.

Koekemoer said the market is doing well; just like any business, it’s sometimes quiet, but mostly busy as the Lowveld community is supporting this new venture.

She calls on those who haven’t visited the market yet to do so.

It is a safe family outing and many excellent buys can be picked up cheaply as stallholders do not have to pay high rent for a permanent shop elsewhere. The market caters for all ages and a backup generator even sidesteps Eskom electricity outages, while a lift makes it easier for those who cannot use the steps to also enjoy the market.

A variety of delicious food, drinks and locally crafted products, from handmade clothing and dolls to handcrafted lighting, leather shoes, plants, jewellery and so much more are available at the market.
