Six weeks to the celebration of International Women's Day, distribution of the loincloth has already been launched as bales of loincloths are ready for supply.
In the Mvog-Mbi market, people are lining up to purchase loincloths for the International Women's day. Per the accounts of Florence Ngado, who we met at the entrance of a shop in Mvog-Mbi market, 'the first releases are generally of very good quality fabrics and those who know come early, the fake will come into circulation later. Like her, other people are buying their loincloths as soon as possible, to avoid the inconvenience of last minutes.
This year, two colors are available (Brown and yellow-orange), but with a lot of innovations in terms of messages. The themes include "Women, health and safety for a Cameroon without epidemic Ebola" or "Women, add our voice to that of the head of State to combat terrorism", from other slogans related news.
With regard to last minute shortages, David Mounjoutouyi regional delegate Cicam said that steps have been taken to remedy this situation, with a hundred distributors in the city of Yaoundé and over 300 in the region of Centre. "However, to avoid last-minute surprises, it is recommended that those interested buy theirs early", he added.
