Johannesburg Shopping Tips by crazyguitar

Name of Shop: In all main roads

Itīs plenty of stands and street markets in all the main roads.

What To Buy: You can buy excellent local craft. Bargaining is very common and sometimes can be tedious but on the other hand you can get very good prices and make new friends.
Usually you have to pay in cash.
The best market was near Harbeesport Dam, in the first village after Harbeesport coming from Pretoria, but Iīm not able to remember the name.
