Neighbour Goods

This guide to Neighbour Goods in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, traces the 2011 gamble by Adam Levy, Cameron Munro and Justin Rhodes to turn a derelict parking lot into a weekend market of trestle tables and street food. You'll hear how the market drew thousands of Saturday visitors past a sculpture by Edoardo Villa, and how the 2020 lockdown nearly closed it for good, sparking rumors among traders that it was finished. It follows Levy's decision to rebuild the space rather than let it go.
