Praise for Gcilima’s successful flea market
Exhibitors said they are looking forward to the second edition next year
KwaMqadi Taxi Rank in Gcilima location near Margate was the place to be last Saturday, as the locals organised a flea market, a first in the village’s history.
According to the organisers, the market proved to be an economic boost for enthusiastic emerging farmers and small businesses.
An organising committee member, Cedric Mboyisa, said the flea market can only grow from strength to strength, as the aim is to host it regularly.
He also thanked Ray Nkonyeni Municipality and its Youth Office for their collaborative spirit and willingness to make the initiative a success.
“We are grateful to community members who supported the small, local businesses,” said Mboyisa.
Exhibitors said they are looking forward to the second edition next year, which the organisers believe will be bigger and more exciting.
“Plans are afoot to ensure the resounding success of the next edition, come 2025. Building and sustaining rural economies starts with us,” emphasised Mboyisa.
Products sold by local agripreneurs and entrepreneurs included fresh vegetables, organic beetroot and spinach juices, clothes, perfumes and cakes.
A company also offered its Wi-Fi services at a reasonable fee, specifically designed for rural folks.
