There is a potjie pot that could be won by one lucky reader!

DURBAN residents had three days to browse through the quaint market in Forest Hills that was overflowing with bargains and help two worthy causes in the process.

The event organiser, Mandi Saunders opened up her private home as a venue and dozens of store holders filled the space to help raise much-needed funds for two animal welfare organisations, KZN Valley Dogs as well as KZN Husky Rescue.
