You need to have lived in this city for long to detect this piece as a fabricated story. I see gikomba used clothes market and a dump site that could be in Dandora or anywhere else. Neither has any relation to giant mountains of discarded fashion.

Majority of mtumba that comes to Africa would be in dump sites in Europe. Second hand clothes are first sorted and the good ones are reused in western Europe. After the good ones are left in Western Europe, containers with mtumba are then transported to Eastern Europe for second round of sorting. Then the ones that cannot be used in Eastern Europe are shipped to Africa.

Since the export chain is so complicated, it makes it difficult to take responsibility for the environmental damage by the time they reach Africa.

Kipindi.

Please be honest even with yourself.
 
I can say for sure that mtumba is not used by the poorest of the poor as the condescending reporting makes it appear.

It's like they don't have used clothing stores in Europe and America!

The quality that comes to Africa is not the same as the one left behind in Europe. That's a fact! You can watch the video I have posted in my previous comment where they explain what happens.
