The Cape Minstrels (also known as the Kaapse Klopse) take over the streets of the Mother City each year on the Second New Year Street Parade, which takes place on 2 January.These minstrels, all dressed brightly parade the streets, waving parasols, strumming banjos and making merry with music. The whole city was engulfed in their festive mood and it felt like everyone was out and trying to get a glimpse of these cheerful minstrels.
