Market used to be busy with lots of noise and activity prior Covid 19. The pandemic has scared all the crowd away. Yet i was amazed by the number of people at the market place today when i went there. The Sunyani market has been divided into different sections to moderate the peak attendance to the market as it can get overcrowded easily. Today, we needed some plantain and we had to get it from the market.
The new market site is a sports stadium. It has been turned into a place for traders for the mean time tto reduce overcrowding. At this market, one will get mostly perishable food stuffs such as yam, onion, cassava, plantain and many more of those family of food stuff. Below are some pictures of traders.
Most of the markets women are following the precautions set by the government to combat the Covid 19 whilst a few are not conforming to the rules. Though it is punishable by the law not to go out without wearing a nose mask, i saw many people without one on at the market. Some were traders whiles others were buyers. My sister and i on the other hand tried as much as possible to buy from only those conforming to the rules set by the Government.
You can see to the left are laborers who help carry bought food items for buyers whilest on the right is a trader trying to set up her umbrella. The sun was scorchy though but we managed to get all that we came for.
Seeing these pear reminds me of the pear tree we have in the house. You can clearly see the market woman having nose mask but not using it. I think we are a bit reluctant to use the safety tools. Ghanaians are undermining the disease and i pray it doesnt take us by a surprise.
I hope you enjoyed my entry of #market friday started by
