This is Ndakopa Market. All fresh fruits and vegetables could be found on these stalls. The sacks, don't underestimate them, carried the wealth of this area. Lorries from Mutare, Masvingo, Chipinge, Rusape were always seen here, groaning under the weight of bananas, mangoes, oranges. South of the market was a canning factory, which produced jam and other spreads. If you think the people are waiting for something, you are right. The place was a bus stop as well. At 4 am you could catch a bus to Mutare, but you had to be at the market by 2:30 am, in case the bus arrived earlier. So at night the thatched stalls served as shelter for people waiting for buses.
