“In the 10 years the market has been at the Waterfront, we've probably seen upwards of 5 million from all over the world," says founder Sheryl Ozinsky.

The Oranjezicht City Farm Market in Granger Bay is moving to a new site in the V&A Waterfront precinct.
From Saturday, 6 December 2025, it will be in a custom-built timber barn with panoramic views of Table Bay.
Market founder Sheryl Ozinsky says the new space is just a minute's walk from the current market.
The move is necessary because the V&A plans a R20-billion development there, which will include hotels, residential units and a new marina.
"We will return to the site once the development is done.
"If people want to come and say goodbye to the old market, then Wednesday night is the final goodbye of the night market on the current site. This weekend is the final Saturday and Sunday at the current site.
"We so look forward to showing Cape Town this beautiful market in its new incarnation."
Ozinsky says the V&A has put a lot of money into the new barn, which has improved facilities for traders.
The Oranjezicht City Farm Market also went to look for investors and eventually found a family in London who put in more than R20 million. "They want to create more jobs, they are formerly South Africans, they want people to eat healthy food. That is our mission. If we could start a hundred markets like this, not so fancy as this one, more in tune with local communities, if we could train them, if we could mentor them [we would]."
She believes the new space will attract even more tourists.

"Thank you to the people of Cape Town. They have supported us through Covid, through water shortages, through electricity crises, through winds that damaged our tent; they have shown up no matter what."
Meanwhile, the Oranjezicht City Farm in Oranjezicht, the non-profit founded by Ozinsky 12 years ago, continues its work with small-scale farmers. "We should have a farmers' market coalition as they do in Barcelona. Nobody in Barcelona is further than 20 minutes away from a farmers' market, meaning that they can eat healthy food. And if they eat healthy, they will be healthy, and the government spends much less on healthcare," says Ozinsky.
