The 2015 EAC call to ban second-hand clothing was noble and complicated. Eventually, Uganda had to pull out, but the conversations to-ban or not-to-ban continue. This episode takes on the popular Ugandan Kimeeza (round table) debate format - a 360 look that brings us into the discourse at the heart of the second-hand clothing trade. With guests that include the Chairman of the largest second-hand clothing market in the country, and three activists who are for the ban, Bobby and Nikissi ask for ways in which we can reimagine the clothing and textiles industry for the economic benefit of the country.
