In villages and small towns across southern Africa, markets and roadside stalls are an important feature of everyday life. They provide an opportunity to purchase food and household goods at reasonable prices and in localities close to where people live. They offer village residents the chance to sell excess produce and cooked food in order to generate a small income in an area that offers few prospects for formal employment. And they become vital gathering points for a community; a place where friends can meet, news can be exchanged, romances blossom and village gossip shared.

With his bold strokes and dazzling use of colour, Lloyd Charakupa effortlessly captures the essence and vitality of rural life in southern Africa.
