GEORGE NEWS - Visitors to the Touwswil Flea Market on Saturday 7 September had an enjoyable time with a variety of local stalls offering from plants and pottery to delicious homemade fare to munch on, live music, dancing and creative kids' activities.

The market is non-profit and is a collaborative initiative between the communities of Hoekwil and Touwsranten with the aim of bringing the two communities together. 

Another goal of this initiative is to create economic opportunities for entrepreneurs in Touwsranten.
