  • At the robot before you cross the dam wall you will find quite a large amount of street vendors. When the cars stop they run to the you with their merchandise. It can be anything from the Sunday newspaper, to a bag of avocados or some handmade stuff.

    Most of them are just trying to make a living. People must buy from them otherwise they would have left long time ago.

    The idea is not to discourage you from buying from them. They are always very open to negotiation.

    The idea with this tip is just to tell you about it. It can be overwhelming if you are not used to it.

    I doubt if they will allow the unsavoury characters between them. It will be bad for business. By all means if they sell something you want, buy it. It will be cheaper than the curio shops. Take the article you want to buy and have a look at it before you pay. Make sure it is what you want before you part with your money.

     What a great page. Unfortunately we drove right past the dam on our way to Pilanesberg. If those are your boys, they are a good looking pair for sure.
