Message from Joelle Regh

Greenmarket Square is a cool historical spot in the heart of Cape Town, South Africa. It's been around since 1696 and has seen it all - from being a slave market to a veggie market to even a parking lot! These days, it's a bustling flea market where you can find all sorts of African souvenirs, crafts, and curios. Oh, and there's this old-school hand-operated pump that brings up clean water from an underground river. Back in the day, Greenmarket Square was a hotspot for political protests during apartheid because it was close to parliament and had a diverse mix of traders and shoppers. So, if you're ever in Cape Town, swing by Greenmarket Square for a taste of history and some awesome shopping!
