Oh yeah, mitumba, something that has thoroughly wrecked African textile industries - hard to compete with "almost free"
Ironically, "fast fashion" may finally bring an end to this, since this low quality stuff in donated (and thus almost destroyed) form isn't worth being shipped over to Africa, whereas "fresh" FF clothing from Asia is as cheap as mitumba was before.
