Food markets in Cape Town are a big thing, with markets of all types in virtually every neighbourhood across the city’s metro area. While most markets are closed during the COVID-19 lockdown, some have reopened up for business. The markets are allowing a limited number of patrons to shop at a time to help reduce the spread of the virus.
