The Fourways Farmer’s Market in Mooderfontein, Gauteng, has been the subject of a protracted discussion on social media regarding the lack of decorum there.
Tweeps were outraged after seeing a video of a young woman dancing wildly there and complained that amapiano and “groove” culture were invading settings that were meant to be peaceful and family-oriented.
Others, on the other hand, do not think it is improper for a group of individuals to form their own little groove at the market.
This also applies to the proprietor, Greg Straw, who told 702 that there are different sections for different activities.
TWEEPS DISAPPOINTED BY GROOVE ACTIVITY AT FARMER’S MARKET
After the market was transformed into a party scene on Sunday, 24 July, a number of tweeps have tweeted their concerns.
Tweeps who frequent the area claim to adore it for its serene Sunday atmosphere, with others claiming they typically spend time there with their families.
The discussion grew heated when a video of a tweep dancing while amapiano played in the distance appeared.
Sometimes all you need is a place where you can let your kids run around without worrying that they’ll get burned by a hubbly coal or where you can drive a stroller without worrying that Thato will start a circle.
The farmers market is a great location for families to unwind and unwind, but aboMbali base extension 3 nama icetropez is fucking awful!
People are expressing dissatisfaction that this should not be done at a farmers market, then.
Going to a restaurant and just sitting and talking isn’t for us because we are black people and we are loud, love music, and dance by nature. So there is nothing improper in my opinion.
Be proud of your race.
As a result, the market plays piano.
The non-piano gang is angry with the piano gang after the amapiano gang arrives and enjoys their yanos.
Instead of getting upset with those that are there to enjoy the yanos, why not speak with the organizers?
THEY SERVE EVERYONE, SAYS THE OWNER
Straw stated that everyone is welcome at the Fourways Farmer’s Market in an interview with Bongani Bingwa on 702.
“At first, it was planned that dad, mommy, and the grandparents would attend the party in the morning, followed by the younger crowd in the afternoon.
But Covid-19 really harmed us.
The farmer’s market owner explained that because she had a varied consumer base, she decided to open on both Saturday and Sunday to give two different sets of people a different experience.
Straw also added that visitors that come for breakfast, runners, and bikers are catered for in the morning.
Families are catered for in the day, while partygoers arrive in the late afternoon.
