Vegan Hippie Connection Market
I love markets i did them from 2009 until my husband got very sick then dropped out could not go on. I did all the late "Robin's" markets, namely Bluebird Killaarney mall good food and wine Soweto festival ect. I would like to join your market please.

Joburg Contemporary Art Foundation (JCAF)
I'm a Boomer who's keen to pioneer usage of Indigenous games structures outdoors inside community parks, beaches and other outdoor spaces and places. How can the Joburg Contemporary Art Foundation assist me to realize the construction of these interactive visual arts cum outdoor recreational playfield structures. I'm a marketer and need support to build the structures in carbon free/reduced cement and/or Green plastic materials
