The third annual CPUT Market Day took place on Monday 8 September 2008 on the Cape Town Campus.

The event, which was held in the Student Centre, was hosted by Student Affairs. The aim of the Market Day was not only to give students a chance to make some extra money but also to show their entrepreneurial skills.

The Market Day was attended by many students looking for a treat. Everything from cakes to jewellery was sold. There was even a thumb war stall, which challenged students to a thumb war, as well as a health promotion stall, which enlightened passers on the benefits of living a healthy, balanced life.

The popular 5fm DJ, Euphonik, also attended to keep both students as well as stall holders alike entertained.

All round the event was successful, even the dreadful rain could not keep students away. Campus was abuzz with students from different faculties pitching up to enjoy the goods and activities on offer.
