Vendors in the Hood – Cape Town CBD
Our friendly, persevering vendors buy their own magazines and sell them on to you, our readers. Vendors are easily recognisable in their blue, white and red bibs, sponsored by Warwick Wealth.
The cold, wet weather, traffic, and pandemic mean that our vendors work doubly hard standing for hours and days on the streets offering magazines to readers. Each vendor has a personal story. Each summons Herculean mental strength to endure the day. Here are some of our lovely people in the Cape Town CBD.
