To buy at the Tshwane Market you must have a market account and a buyer’s card.

There are 3 types of accounts available, viz:

• Credit account
  

  To use a credit account an application form must be completed and a bank guarantee submitted as surety. All forms of payment are accepted for a credit account.

• Unregistered cash deposit account
  

  To use an unregistered deposit account a buyer’s card must be obtained from the cashiers. Only cash is accepted for an unregistered cash deposit account. Funds must be deposited into this account before purchases can be made.

• Registered cash deposit account
  

  To use a registered deposit account an application form must be completed. This account is recommended for buyer’s who do not have a need for credit facilities. Only cash and electronic payments are accepted for a registered cash deposit account. Funds must be deposited into this account before purchases can be made.

• A buyer’s card must be used for all purchases irrespective of which account is used.
• A buyer’s card is obtained from the market cashier for a refundable R10 deposit subject to the condition of the returned card.
• Once the buyer has chosen which type of account to use and acquired a card he/she can immediately procure fresh-produce from any market agent.
• Market Trolleys are available for the buyer to transport his/her purchases from the market agent to the platform loading bays. Two types of trolleys are available:
