Lusaka markets

There are markets aplenty around Lusaka and we made our second attempt to find Soweto Market. Third time lucky is the saying, but we found it on our second attempt.

Located behind Lusaka market is another area, and I must confess that we did not venture too far beyond the street. Instead of the temporary - shelters of Manuale narrow alleys lined by gray concrete brick walls that hid the small shops of the occupants. It must have been the combination of city and crowds, but for once I was not keen to explore. We did venture in to buy some bananas, but didn't wander as freely as we had in other places.


Some remarkable sights were still in evidence in the roads around the market...



Most memorable: sellers of plastic bags (Steve is on the left)



Most common: se llers of second hand clothes.
