The Indian Market

Check out the African version of a Pharmacy. The Pharmacists/Doctors are called Songomas. Using herbal medicine, they care for the aches and pains and sickness among the poor Africans They also tell your fortune and basically cure anything. It is a big business here as an estimated ONE million people walk through this market every day. The medicine is mostly piles of ginger root, garlic and something that looks like fertilizer.

In South Africa, the Songoma has as much respect as a medical doctor in America.

Oh, and by the way, you can buy just about anything here.
