This concept, which offers a rare opportunity for the average person to shop at very low prices, is characterised by drumming, singing and dancing, all aimed at attracting the attention of potential customers. This reporter Tuesday visited the three busiest markets in the country -Serrekunda, Brikama, and Albert Markets, and discovered that makeshift stalls have been erected by traders in these markets, with the objective of meeting the demand of customers swarming about the place. The customers themselves have to struggle through narrow passages between the stalls searching for the goods that they want to buy.

When feasts like Koriteh are approaching, most people go to the market to shop for textile materials that they will sew into clothes they want to wear on the day of the feast. This makes the textile sellers more popular and in demand during "Wanterr". Different textile materials of varying quality are displayed for sale at the markets, with some selling as low as D25 per meter.

This reporter spoke to many of textile dealers at the markets who admitted that periods like this significantly enhance their businesses. However, they stressed that the "give-away" prices on offer are only possible in times like this, and urged people to take advantage of them. It was also observed that lady's materials are in more demand compared to that of men. With just six days to the feast, "Wanterr" is expected to intensify.
