Like every flea market they have the ways that keep their flea market going. They have their targeted audiences which is the cowdray park community. They said they are targeting this community because many people do not like going to go to town due to distance and sometimes of transport problems.

People then prefer buying in the local flea markets in order to serve energy and transport money. Many people buy there because they try by all means to match clothes sold in town with those sold in local flea market. A large number of customers come to buy in their squares due to the customer care service which they have.

They also said that they buy their staff in South Africa, Botswana and Mozambique. Business women in PATMA market always make sure that people buy "KHOTHAMA" clothes which everyone favours them due to their cheap prices.

They display the same way as other markets do in order to attract many customers. PATMA is a new Flea Market. Buiness women in that market make sure that they keep customers near them in order to make more profit in the business.

Challenges which they are facing are the issue of paying rent for the stands and also that the place is not yet clean to attract many customers in the industry.

Being the local market it has helped many unemployed business women to start their businesses and be able to pay rent and get food for the family. Youth have benefited as they are the most who run the Flea Market Business.

Egodini Flea Market: Profit making

Business women make more profit from selling old clothes bought in bales from Mozambique. People prefer buying old clothes because they are usually cheap than those new ones. They sell old shoes, dresses and undergarments.

Pricing of old clothes is very affordable as it start from US$ 1 and above. Business women at Egodini flea market said they buy those clothes in bales and then display it for people to have a look at. They said the business has gone very fast and also that they are not charged when they are carrying old clothes. Thus why many of them have preferred buying old clothes as they do not face much loss in their business.

The business women at Egodini Flea Market said they face much charges when they buy new items to be sold. Thus why they now prefer to buy old clothes. They said they experience more buyers of" bale" than of new clothes.

Buying clothes in bales have helped them to manage their businesses. Prices of old garments are always negotiated. They negotiate with their customers in order to reach a certain price preferred by the customer. When they bring those bales from Mozambique they first grade them according to their similarities.

Some of the clothes that are of original quality are usual being sold in high prices as to gain profit in business. Sometimes when clothes are too much old they sell them a dollar for three or more so that customers get attracted to them . This is in a way a strategy for profit making.

Business women said clothes sold in bales can make loss in business. This is so because they buy those staff in bales without given the permission to open the bale. The bale may sometimes have clothes that will not be bought by customers. The better way is to sell them in cheap prices so that you gain less and be a position to move forward.

Buying bales have helped Egodini flea market vendors. They have managed to make profit even during tough times. 

Strategy for Profit making

Business women at Entumbane Flea Market are making profit by differentiating their prices from those of other flea markets. Their prices are much higher than those of other markets. In this way they manage to make profit in order for them to survive.

The business women differentiate their prices with a difference of US $1 or more. Clothes that cost US $5 in other Flea Markets they price it to US $ 6. This is a strategy for making profit. Business becomes easy in that way.

They said they also sell China items to boost their business. This is so challenging though, as they will be selling something that is cheap in China shops.

This Easter holiday their prices where high as they were targeting buyers from outside to buy their staff. The business was going slow. They were expecting their business to run fast but this became the opposite.

According to business business management is not easy it needs someone who has patience and be in a position to accept any difficult situation.

The challenge faced by business women at Entumbane Flea market are the shortage of buyers. They said few customers come to buy their staff. Flea markets in Central Business District (CBD) benefit a lot than those outside CBD.

As business women aiming to make profit they try by all means to attract as many customers as they can. Business women should have a skill on how to keep customers coming to buy her staff.

Business during Easter Holiday

Bulawayo business women are facing challenges due to the preparation of Easter holiday. The business is said to be running low despite many people coming to the country and some going out. The business women said they can conquer challenges by being committed to their business.

Easter holiday is the time when business women are expecting more buyers of their services. But this has been turned different since the people coming from foreign countries bring fashion with them to be sold to the public in their houses and some bring clothes to their family members who will find it not important for them to go to the flea market to buy clothes.

The prices in flea markets have risen by a small percentage so that they gain profit in their business. They said its normal for prices to rise during holidays as even the bus fares rises. According to Egodini business women sticking to their aim of making money is the way to conquer challenges coming on their way.

Business women in Flea markets said they try by all means to attract as many customers as they can. Its all about bringing whats new during this easter holiday according to them.

The problem they are facing is that they buy their staff in South Africa (special at China City) where many Zimbabweans in SA buy their clothes there to sell them during the Easter holiday since they are also aiming to raise money due to the economic challenges in the country.

The other challenge is that people coming from SA reduce the prices when selling them to the public as compared to those prices in Flea Markets. Their prices will be cheap than those of  flea markets. They are finding themselves having other competitors who operate in their houses. According to business women this reduces a number of customers coming to their stands. The only thing they do is sticking to their prices knowing that they are permanent business women in Bulawayo.

Also they are much affected as cross boarder traders because there will be many people at all boarders since its holiday and they will be from buying clothes in stock. This affects them as the services they are being given is not good. They said they are not treated as people but as animals. They are charged high duties and this is a challenge to them as it affects their profit. Sometimes they tend to make friendships with the law holders, but during holidays things are tough.

Business women from Egodini Flea market gave the above challenges as to encourage other business women to be strong during difficult times.

Rain affects the flow of Businesses

Business women in Flea Markets have been affected by the past rainfalls. This has led to the drop in number of customers coming to their stands. Business women said the change of the whether affects running of their businesses (it is seen as a challenge). The whether determines what customers will buy in the day to day running of the business.

few customers in the market...pic by patie

Flea Market business women said this is a challenge but it does not mean that they are suppose to stop running their businesses. When its raining the customers are in a position to change type of clothes and other staff which they need. People start buying raincoats, umbrellas, shower caps and those water proof shoes. 

The business women said they make sure that they buy staff related to rain season time and store it until that time comes. Such staff include raincoats, umbrellas, shower caps and rubbers-shoes.

Other businesses women said the first thing they do is to check the whether before they go out for a business. This helps them to know which staff will be in the market for the day. For example, when the whether is predicted to be hot the business will be marketing hates, push-ins, summer dresses and other staff.

A business women needs to know how to market her staff  in the day to day to running of the business by looking at the whether. The business women should be in a position to know how to manage their staff and market them to the public by following the whether. It is also advisable that a business women market in flea markets which have shades to protect their staff from heavy rains.

Flea markets which do not have protected shades have been affected the most as compared to those which have shades. Such Flea Markets include Entumbane, Nkulumane and Luveve (esporweni) flea markets.

The business women in the affected areas focused much on the marketing of their staff on how one should be in a position to market her staff to the public all the time. A business women should be in a position to conquer obstacles in her business.

China staff boosting Businesses

china rubber shoes in flea markets stands

Business women in Bulawayo are now buying some of the staff in China shops around the city to sell it to the public. This helps them in their business as it reduces transport cost of going to other countries.

Women in flea market business said they are now buying staff in China shops following the fall of South African rand which has led to loss in their business.

They buy staff like rubber and plastic sandals which have been adopted by many people in Bulawayo. Chinese sandals are then piled and displayed in flea market stands so as to be sold to the people.

Business women said due to the falling of African rand their business has been affected also. They have now started buying some of the cheapest staff in China shops and then increase the price of the staff by ten percent. They said its all about knowing how to market your staff despite that you are selling staff that is already being sold in China shops in very cheap prices.

This in a way does not bring much profit to the business according to business women. They said people come to buy China staff in their stalls after they have not got what they want in china Shops. They defined it as a long process of waiting for their staff to be bought.

But, China staff real help in business flow as people like to buy cheap things. They said China staff can be sold in flea market business but as business women they do not rely much on them as most of China rubbers are not fashionable staff even though the public like to buy them and that they are very cheap.

They still rely on going out to foreign countries to buy items which are not there in Bulawayo. Their trips of going there are reduced as they have other plans of making money within the  industry.

According to business women anyone wishing to start her business should be able to come up with intelligent plans on how to keep business going. One should not be in a position to give up very easily. It only deals about knowing how to make profit despite difficulties.

Fall in SA rand affects business women

Falling of the South African rand has affected many women in flea market business. It has been difficult for business women, the so called cross boarder traders to manage their business. This has been a challenge as they use South African rand to buy their staff. They are counting the cost in lost businesses.

egodini flea market...pic by patie

The rand has been weakening over the past few months to R100 per US 7.50dollars from R100 per US 8dollars. The flea market business women said this has led to the loss of their business as they are finding it difficult to make prices for their items.


The prices in rands are now high than when pricing in dollars. For example when a dress cost US 5 dollars in rands it will be 70 rands. This has became a disadvantage to them as customers are now seeing it better to go and buy clothes at Mesuna in south Africa. This has reduced their trips to south Africa.

egodini flea market...pic by patie

Many flea market business women have been stuck with goods from their last trip as there are no buyers. This has led to them reducing the price of their items so as to meet competition and be able to finish the staff of the last trip.

The falling of South African rand is now pushing the flea market business women out of business as they have to reduce their prices for the sack of customers.

To them the weakening of the rand means rating the items in cheap prices and high competition between the Flea Market industry. This is much challenging to them. The business women find it a time to come up with their critical skills on how to survive under economic difficult situations.

Some of those stuck items in the previous trip end up being sold as old clothes at Khothama during weekends. This is another loss in the flow of a business .

A business women should not be tired of her business. She should be always active. The specific targeted hours are morning hours, lunch time and even late hours. People will be busy checking clothes during that time. It is the time when business women manage to make much money.

There are times when the Flea market places will be silent with only business women chatting to themselves and not to the customers. This is a sad time even though they will be chatting as know one wishes to see her business running low.

Timing customers goes together with the targeted place for a market. For example some places are very cool which symbolises a few number of people going around. A successful market is the one located where there are many people passing by.

Some of the places are always busy through out the day. For example in complexes and in town. Flea Markets in those places experience successful businesses.

A successful business woman is the one who know how to manage time and also her target place so as to avoid loss. A successful business woman is the one guided by an active business women who know her work very well.

 This also involves having your known customers so as to help your business to keep going. it also involves making good relationships with the people around the city.

Customer care is also very important in Flea Market business. This includes being kind and understanding to your customers. This also involves one knowing how to interact with different people in the market. It involves one knowing the behavior of people. People have got different character, a business women should know on how to deal with her customers.

Flea market business also involves business women and customers knowing that they have got a mutually beneficial relationship that ties them together. The business women benefit from the public and as well as the customers benefit from the work of business women as well.

Flea Markets Prices

Business focuses much on price making so as to enable one to know her profit and loss as well. Pricing clothes in Flea Market is the very issue that wonders every business women of today in Bulawayo. Pricing depends on the quality of clothes.

Business women consider price making as important in business because the focus is on how successful is your business. Pricing structure is used to help women manage their businesses. In Flea markets the business women are the ones who set the prices of their goods without being controlled by the government. There is no government intervention in their price making. The market sets its own prices that involves every individual in the market to follow it

The business women sit down and agree on certain price that will apply in all the flea market stalls. This is called "free market economy" type of market. 

Price labels are the guiding tags which help both the customer and business women. Price labels may be in form of cards that are written the price of certain goods and usually it is pinned to it. This help customers to be aware of ranging prices in Flea Markets.

Pricing of clothes is usually determined buy the buying stock price. Sometimes clothes may be doubled of their stock prices to help business women gain profit. For example if the stocking price of  winter boots  was R100 the selling price will be US $20 or $15 dollars depending on the negotiations.

People like buying in Flea Markets because negotiations apply. The seller is can reduce the price of her clothes or some goods with 10% or less in order to attract more customers. This in a way does not reduce profit making.

Credit usually does not apply because in most cases it is seen as contributing to profit loss. Also that people buying in Flea Markets are the people who would be on their journey and unknown buy the seller. This means that there are know buying accounts in Flea Markets like in those big shops.

What is important is that every business women in flea market should agree to certain prices set within their businesses.

Bulawayo women in business of today prefer selling their clothes in dollars even though they accept foreign currency, but their pricing currency is rated in dollars.

The business women said push ins are now the shoe fashion wanted by everyone. The push ins have brought competition to the industry this weekend. Many women come to the flea market to get those shoes that are on market. The shoes are just in demand. They make the business go fast.

The competition in Flea markets is high but business women help each other by having the same prices for each iterm so that others who may have high prices may not run shortage of customers and also that those with low prices may not run in profit loss.

For example, they can set a price of  US$5 for fashion shoes which are of the same quality.

It should be within an individual interests to start and manage a business.

Flea markets are an increasing popular feature among Bulawayo women. It is ideal for retired and employed people who want to enjoy an interesting and sociably way to make an income.

Setting up a business in flea market is relatively simply as long as you take time to identify a well-attended, well run up flea market where you are more likely to have a high volume of business.

Business women said they are targeting people at the terminus where many people come to board their Kombis.

They said that it is important for one to know her target area so as to avoid loss in business management.

Flea markets should be  more appealing to customers so that they feel comfortable when viewing displayed clothes. They said their area is not that attractive to customers.

"Greener pastures for women in Flea Markets"

The purpose of a business is to gain profit. Where there is no profit  there is no business. Women of today struggle to make profits through their Flea Market Businesses.

Flea Markets are empty without any customers going around. If you can be lucky, you can be able to count few customers going around all the stalls. One may wonder why then do we still have those business women sitting under their small Sheds without addressing any customer.

Busy selling hours has been turned to chatting hours. Its not what they wish to do, but the situation forces them to watch each other as there will be no customers.

Business women said there is always a plan under each difficult situation. They said managing business through other countries currency has helped them a lot.

They can buy clothes in south Africa using rands and then be able to sell their clothes in dollar. This enable them to make profit.

They said for example when you buy clothes in stock in South Africa for 1000 rands you can be able to make a profit of US $150.

Buying in stock with foreign currency is not the only means to survive. The business women have became what we call "osiphatheleni" foreign currency dealers. They have started other small businesses within Flea Market business. Though they know its against the law they do it knowing  that they wont be caught.

They said there is nothing they can do to keep their business going since all people are being affected by economic meltdown.

One of the business women at Entumbane flea market said there is nothing they can do but just to seat down under their stalls and wait for the sunset.

During weekends they are expecting customers to come in large numbers as they will be off work. But this came to be opposite as few people came to view their displayed clothes and not buying anything.This causes stress to them as they will be thinking about how will they survive if people dont buy their staff.

Entumbane Flea market used to have many buyers and the business people used to go and buy staff from foreign countries weekly. This have changed as business women  now go to foreign countries monthly or after their all of their staff have been bought.

Some of the staff spend three months without being bought. In this case the women in business find themselves reducing the price of those clothes. This has an effect in business management. The business may face too much loss.

However, some business women said its all about bring new fashion to the industry so that people can adopt it. They said despite challenges they can manage their business as long as they bring what is new everyday. They quoted that ladies are easily attracted by new fashion and that they dont want anything to skip them.
