click on photos to enlarge CHRISTMAS IN SOUTH AFRICA 2014 on Chris & Sandy's farm in Eston MARKETS OF WARWICK STREET, DURBAN To learn more about these markets check it out @ www.marketsofwarwick.co.za The Bead Market iMPEPHO and LIME MARKET Lime traders sell balls of white and red lime mined from iNdwedwe, north of Durban. These lime and clay balls are used as sunscreen, white-wash paint and for pottery. The women who sell these balls actually live here, under the interstate bridges. BROOK STREET MARKET and BEREA STATION MARKET This market runs alongside the Badsha Peer Shrine. Women sewing and selling brightly colored pinafores, and men sewing religious clothing. On the upper level you will find the food court, where dishes are washed in massive enamel pots. BOVINE HEAD MARKET An authentic Zulu delicacy of bovine (cow) head meat, along with traditional dumpling served on wooden boards… EARLY MORNING MARKET Early Morning Market is 100 years old, selling produce, spices, flowers and live poultry. HERB MARKET and MUSIC BRIDGE MARKET The Music Bridge Market pumps so loudly with music, each stall with it's own variety cranked as high as it would be in a nightclub. The bridge connects to the Herb Market where traditional healers sell their wares. No photos can be taken in the Herb Market but it is an astounding visual feast with every variety of concoction available, dried animal skins, bones, skulls, bladders...
