One of the participants explained that the market provides entrepreneurs with an opportunity to reach a larger market than they do in their confined spaces and most importantly they feel like they are getting closer to pushing the movement of selling and buying proudly South African and local goods..

The sentiment at the social market is that there is ample space and opportunity for more sales, thus both business owners and the mall alike invite the public to buy from and interact with the market and are open to suggestions on how the market can improve for more sales in next month’s edition.
