After all these years, it is evident that the hands-on approach of this family in the running of this world-class market, has proven to be the perfect formula for success.The energy, love, commitment and passion that Christine and her family have invested in the market has delivered a host of benefits to the community. From the countless small traders who have had the opportunity of creating a livelihood for their families, to the community at large who are secure in the knowledge that the Shongweni Farmers & Craft Market will not disappoint. This market is a firm family favourite for food, fun and festivities.
