Mai Mai Market Entrance (The Heritage Portal)
Kwa Mai Mai, also called Ezinyangeni (Place of Healers), was established in 1927 at the Salisbury and Jubilee Gold Mine Compound in Faraday. After a fire in the 1940s, the community was relocated here to former stables. In 1946, the Johannesburg City Council expropriated the stables and developed them into a hostel and market. Known for traditional crafts, indigenous healing practices and African food, the market encompasses a vibrant network of artisans, traders and spiritual practitioners.
