Renkini Market
Township / local · Bulawayo, Zimbabwe · also called Renkini, Renkini bus terminus market
A bus-terminus market in Makokoba: the trade is built around passengers heading to and from rural Matabeleland, so it moves grain, groundnuts and dried produce that travel well rather than the soft vegetables the wholesale markets handle.
