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
