Warwick Markets are a place I have wanted to go for a long time, and today I was lucky enough to have Rosemary, a tour guide from the ASIYE ETAFULENI non-profit that runs tours headed by traders themselves. Rosemary was well-versed in the history of the markets and especially about the herbs in the herb market where she and her sister have a stall.

This was a highlight. On the day I was the only guest which was nice but even in groups it will be great. My guide was Toe (pronounced Too). She was fantastic.

Ask for Toe! …

Go and experience the vibrancy of South Africa. You are perfectly safe and the tour guides are friendly and knowledgeable. This shows ubuntu in the true sense where people care and look out for one another. It is a sensory tour not to be missed.
