MBOMBELA – The market, arranged by Rika Venter-Coley from Events Africa, is currently three years old and first started out at the Blue Gate Tea Garden in Ehmke Street.
In July 2019, the market moved to Nadine’s, a tea garden at the old Nelspruit Airfield.
“As part of the market, we work together with local businesses to get them extra exposure, and this in turn creates an opportunity for the local suppliers to get better rates on their stall fees,” said Venter-Coley.

“The Lowveld Market is something that keeps me busy and helps me to give back to the community; my personal NPO project. Events Africa sponsors the social media marketing, the copywriting and the design.”
She went on to talk about the ubuntu nature of each event.
“Everyone helps everyone at the market. If someone needs help, you will always find someone that is willing.”
