Information:
The
Bakau Craft Market was established in 1971 at
Cape
Point by the women of the area who used to offer for sale
crafted African style items such as beads, masks etc. In 1982 it
was moved opposite to the
African Village Hotel side entrance.
In 1999 it came to its final location.
There are almost
50 spacious stalls which can allow for 10 visitors. You will
find the locals selling a large variety of tourist souvenirs such as sand
paintings, table cloths, masks, drums, tie dye curtains and
sheets, batiks and jewellery from gold, silver or other
materials.
