There are also non-profit organizations in western societies that sell used clothes to for-profit companies in Africa. These "white man's clothes" are quite common in some parts of the continent. This used clothing is called Mitumba in some areas and is surrounded by some controversy. Critics point to it as a threat to local clothing manufacturers and complain that it exploits consumers. Others argue that this used clothing provides useful competion for often expensive and low quaility local products. The fact that it is available in street markets even in countries that have banned it suggests a willing consumer appetite for mitumba. |
