I would highly-recommend working with the team and visiting the market, or indeed any of the events they put together. You’ll leave invigorated – and inspired for the future of South Africa" - Sharon Cooper, Organizer Soweto Wine & Lifestyle Festival.

They really understand the consumer and know how to connect the consumer with local creatives in an innovative and authentic way.
