This is a tiny market under a bridge in the center of Johannesburg where ‘herbal doctors’ (sometimes known as Witch Doctor’s) sell anything from Squirrel fat to dead monkeys for use in healing and witchcraft. I met a variety of strange characters and it wasn’t to difficult to find a potion that could heal Rio’s Ferdinand’s leg consisting of donkey fat with horse, python and hippo fat! This is a great place to visit but a strong stomach is definitely needed!
