Town Tools builds free, public tools for Stellenbosch and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Stellenbosch's market map changed hard in 2025–26: the Saturday Slow Market has left Oude Libertas after 13 years (its organisers now run markets in Bellville and Durbanville), the Dorp Street Sunday Market closed in March 2025 when the municipality declined its renewal, and the Root 44 Market at Audacia closed in July 2026 'until further notice' after a zoning dispute. These are the weekend markets still meeting.
