Kaapseklopse -Cape Town Street parade - 2nd New Year 2019 #135968029
Description
Cape Town - The Cape CBD was brought to a standstill as thousands of Capetonians and tourists gather in the CBD for the annual Tweede Nuwe Jaar jol. Cape minstrel troupes from across the city were expected to start marching from noon but only got underway later due to delays. Numerous roads have been closed as the klopse minstrels perform their song-and-dance numbers from Keizergracht Street in District Six all the way up to Wale Street in Bo-Kaap. The street parade follows the historic tradition when the Capeâââ‰â¢s slaves had their day off work during the Dutch colonial period.
