Costumes, colours and celebrations… thousands hit the streets of Cape Town earlier this month for the city’s annual Tweede Nuwe Jaar – or ‘minstrel’ – parade. The parade is a cornerstone of South African culture and stems from a tradition born in the 19th century, when newly freed slaves were granted January 2 off as a cultural rebirth. Spectators watched a parade of performers dressed in colourful costumes and singing and dancing alongside brass bands. | BBC News Africa

The Tweede Nuwe Jaar Parade, also known as the Kaapse Klopse Karnaval or “Cape Town Minstrel Carnival,” is an annual cultural event in Cape Town, South Africa, celebrated on the 2nd of January. It is a vibrant tradition deeply rooted in Cape Malay and slave history, with origins dating back to the colonial era when enslaved people in the Cape were given a day off after New Year’s Day to celebrate. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #tweedenuwejaar #kaapseklopse #capetownparade #capeto
