At the heart of Fordsburg in Johannesburg is Dragon City, where traders source many of their products.

Every morning, customers are making their way to stock up at Achaar King, where the Achaar King management have been operating for three months.

The Achaar King sources its mangoes, which are picked green, from various parts of Limpopo, where the farmers reap and cut them, before preserving them in a mixture of salt and fenugreek.

This preserves them for up to a year, which means stock is always available, although the mango-picking season is annually in October.
