SAFRICA-CULTURE-CARNIVAL
Members of the Playaz Inc. minstrel troupe sing and dance as they practice at a school in Mitchells Plain near Cape Town, on December 30, 2022, ahead of the upcoming Cape Town Minstrels Parade. - The Cape Town Minstrels Parade sees troupes dressed with bright coloured costumes that march while playing music through the centre of Cape Town.
The "Tweede Nuwe Jaar" (Second New Year) celebration held on January 2 dates back to the time before slavery was abolished in the Cape colony, during which they were allowed to relax on the day following New Years Day.
The troupes taking part in the parade also aim at creating social cohesion, activities for the youth, and connection with culture, in some of the mostly impoverished crime-ridden communities in which the members live. (Photo by RODGER BOSCH / AFP) (Photo by RODGER BOSCH/AFP via Getty Images)
