The mighty D6 Raw have the Minstrel Carnival title in sight iol.co.za - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from iol.co.za Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Cape Town’s annual parade of minstrel troupes down Hanover Street (Keizersgracht), putting on a dazzling performance in front of the judges at City Hall and then proceeding down Adderley Street into Wale Street, has been provisionally postponed to 16 June 2021.
The parade, a favourite holiday celebration dubbed the Mother City’s own Rio Carnival, attracts visitors from across the globe and the postponement is seen as a huge financial loss to the troupes and the tourism sector.
Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association (KKKA) director Muneeb Gambeno said: “This carnival has massive importance to our people and in order to leverage the importance and impact that is had in our community, we couldn’t simply cancel it. The proposed new date was subject to the pandemic at that time.
