The Ashwin Willemse Orient Community Development Troupe was full of energy, dancing down the fan walk in Green Point during the Cape Minstrel celebrations on Monday.
Hundreds of people were entertained in the annual Tweede Nuwe Jaar Festival in Green Point, Cape Town, on Monday, as Cape Minstrel troupes marched down Main Road.
According to the organisers, “The parade celebrates heritage, unity and the living tradition of the Kaapse Klopse.”
The street parade started at 11am and was followed by competitions at the DHL Stadium.
The first troupe on the fan walk to Green Point Stadium was the Original D6 Hanover Minstrels.
The youths from the Original D6 Hanover Minstrels seemed unaffected by the heat while entertaining the spectators lining the fan walk.
Spectators took photos and cheered the Cape Town Hawkers on Green Point Main Road.
The over 1,000 strong troupe, the Juvie Boys, gave it their all on the way to the stadium
There was no stopping the Juvie Boys Entertainers on the fan walk as they approached the stadium.

Fun South African Fact: South Africa’s drinking water is rated 3rd best in the world for being “safe and ready to drink”.
Mad Jack
Van der Merwe goes to Paris to watch the Boks take on the Brits at the world cup.
Whilst in Paris, he walks around, gaping and staring at everything – so much so that he walks smack bang into a fire hydrant which hits him so hard on the family jewels that he has to be rushed to hospital where the doctors tell him they have to remove his testicles.
Van goes berserk, he bites and snarls at every one and he won\’t let anybody within 10 metres of him. Eventually they find a South African doctor in the hospital and get him to talk to Van.
He walks up to Van and tells him \”Hey Van, die ouens moet jou knaters uithaal.\”
Van replies \”O, okay, ek dog die bliksems wil my test tickets vat.\”
