When I heard that the Neighbourgoods Market, once the heartbeat of Braamfontein, in inner city Johannesburg, had relaunched as The Playground, it brought back many memories.
But not at the Neighbourgoods Market. Each Saturday morning people would gather, connect, converse, eat and dance in that space. It was an inspiring place just to be present in, made that much better by bringing along friends, and making new ones, at the communal long table where the eating and drinking of market fare took place.
Retaining all the original qualities that made going to the market an event, rather than a mere shopping destination, I found The Playground bursting with a heightened level of creative energy. I took in that energy as I watched people dancing to the beat of some hypnotic tune flowing from the newly built stage. Attempting to capture the moment, they posed for selfies, proudly displaying outfits inspired by local people such as the mokorotlo straw hat of the Basotho.
And that is precisely what The Playground provides – an opportunity for the creatives of Joburg to weave their tales and share a little piece of themselves with you and I on a Saturday.
I'm just here to show my appreciation to the man who got me on utta poverty I am very happy to be amount your winning team sir' and I will always show my gratitude and work with you always JamesAlderson0
