There were also people from SEDA to help those who need assistance with their business it can either be funding or anything that deals with business.

We heard about the market through a friend, this is our second time coming here and the market so far it is working for us as it gives us exposure because people get to see and buy our products says Mary Mathebula, Demaries Creations founder.
There was also a lady named Lebogang Rakumakwe, she was displaying and selling washable sanitary towels that are more convenient and easy to use. The sanitary towels are odourless, washable without chemicals, made from cotton to prevent leakage and they have different sizes as well.

We have businesses that use the markets to network themselves so basically, this is not only about selling a product but the marketing and networking platform” says Nkagare Makhudu, founder of Morongwa Foundation.
