Every morning in the hustle and bustle of Joburg CBD everyone is trying their best to give meaning to their day and life in general

It is at this time that you find a group of young men selling second-hand clothes. All of them came to Joburg in search of meaning to their financial freedom or even just to put bread on the table at the end of the day. These men use their voices as a billboard to lure customers to their stand (back of the bakkie) to buy their merchandise. You will find them on Wanderers Street next to The Bridge Shopping Centre.
