I’m on assignment for a German newspaper on one of Africa’s largest markets. Shakira Nalumansi, 22 years, sells bedsheets here. Formerly called Owino Market, St. Balikuddembe Market is one of the largest markets in Eastern Africa. More than 7,000 booths that line the chaotic alleys of Owino offer everything what people need for life. The largest section is the second hand fashion trade. With 15 percent most of them come from the USA, around 8,500 tons every year.
