Second-hand clothes sellers in Malaita Province will soon have a new market area just next to the Auki betelnut market.

An Auki citizen and mother, Shalin Mama, said they will be moving at any time once the construction of the new area is complete.

She stated that the new area will be their permanent space for selling second-hand clothes. 

“Currently, we are just waiting for the construction of the new area next to the betelnut market. Once the construction is complete, we will move there,” she said.

Meanwhile, Auki Central Market Revenue Collector David Laeta said the construction of the new second-hand clothes area is progressing.

He explained that the backfilling of the new area is ongoing and will soon be completed.

“The area is a swampy area, so currently we are doing backfilling with rubbish. After the backfilling of rubbish, we will cover it with gravel,” he said.
