In a statement shared on social media on Tuesday, June 30, the Root44 team announced the closure until further notice
The future of the Root 44 Market is uncertain following the operators' announcement of its closure until further notice.
In response, Stellenbosch Municipality has rejected claims of responsibility, citing planning decisions that date back to 2009.
In a statement, the Root 44 team said the decision “has not been made lightly”, adding that jobs have been lost, dreams affected, and many families will feel the impact.
The market also claimed it had received “no support from the Stellenbosch Municipality during this difficult time”.
