Coordinated by Kyle Munsami and administered by Devi Naicker, the market’s mission was to uplift the community by providing a platform for local entrepreneurs to showcase their talents and products.
The market featured a wide array of stalls, including home and garden items, food stalls, a tea garden, fresh produce, manicure and pedicure services, massages, clothing, face painting, toys and gifts. Adding to the vibrant atmosphere was a live band, which delighted attendees of all ages.
Munsami remarked, “The market’s atmosphere was lively, with families feeling safe to spend a few hours out of their homes, browsing stalls, enjoying music and supporting the community by purchasing reasonably priced items.”
He noted that the market was a resounding success, receiving positive feedback from vendors and a steady stream of visitors. “We are thrilled with the turnout and the support from the community. It shows that there is a real demand for a local spot where families can relax, enjoy, and support local businesses,” said Munsami.
He explained that the market was born out of a desire to provide opportunities for people in Yellowwood Park and surrounding areas to become self-sufficient and generate income. “With high unemployment rates, particularly among young adults, the market offers a stepping stone towards entrepreneurship, creating a ripple effect of opportunities,” he added.
The next Yellowwood Park Curious Crafts Market is scheduled for August 31, and the organisers are appealing to the community to continue their support by attending.
