At 21, Bonga Mbucane is the youngest trader at the People's Market in City Deep, Johannesburg, where he sells lemons at what was once his mother's stall.

Mbucane started coming to the market when he was 16 to help his mother with her lemon stall. He is currently the youngest trader at the informal market.

“On face value we are filthy, poor people, but we are living. We are the humble link between the consumer and the farmers. Our biggest customers are the foreign traders in the CBD and [on the] streets. They buy from us in bulk and then sell to people,” Mbucane said.“They don’t come anywhere close to City Deep because they are afraid they might get attacked,” he said."For as long as we live, people will eat. After learning what I learnt here, I know one can never go wrong," he said.
