How two local guys are showing up for local businesses
Updated | By Paul Bushell & Diane Macpherson
Watching their friends lose their income from the shutdown of the Shongweni Farmers Market during the COVID-19 lockdown earlier this year, two local guys decided they couldn't stand by and do nothing. This is the story of 'Our Local Market'.
Branden Gee and Cameron Blair decided to support friends and other locals affected by the hard lockdown by creating 'Our Local Market.'
It's an online space where small businesses can trade. But it's also so much more than that, according to Branden and Cameron.
They join the KindnessCan duo, Jane Linley-Thomas and Paul Bushell, to share their story and why this matters so much to them. Listen below.
