The Second-Hand Clothing Industry in Africa
The billion-dollar second-hand clothing industry in Africa raises questions about where the money goes. In an interview, Haji, an importer of second-hand clothes, reveals the bustling activity in Kampala and the diverse range of people involved, from vendors to boutique owners. Despite being considered a low-profile job, Haji emphasizes the importance of providing affordable clothing to the nation's 47 million people. His brother, who started as a simple boy in the business, has become a successful offload, buying and selling containers of clothes from abroad.
