d the face of Ntungamo district.
According to Joshua Tayebwa, the dream bearer of Mabunu Market, the market is unique in a way that people come and feel at home to trade, buy stuff, relax and make merry. The locals drive the market, they own the project and control it, by organising all its facets. “The surrounding area has also grown. Previously, an acre of land was UGX. 5million but now it has more than doubled because people have seen opportunities around. It has also changed how people think about villages, no one knew a year ago that this place would be having gatherings of more than 15000 people every Saturday.”
The previous event that was held at the venue was the February 14 Valentines’ fete that had lovers all over thronging the place to have a good time. Many people who turned up for the fete, confessed to having had a good time at the venue which was fun-filled with a lot of performances from artists.
“The market is growing and we are continuing to support it until the foreseeable future. We have so far achieved what we wanted, the talking ability of the place and everyone knowing it. Right now when I organise an event here, people turn out in big numbers,” Tayebwa said.
