Mzansi Festival a Colourful Coming Together of Community

Posted Tue, 6 Dec (6 months ago)

This past weekend was the annual Mzansi "People of the South" Festival in Sun Valley near Fish Hoek.

The festival, which takes the form of a street parade of children and adults with floats and puppets and decoration made from recycled goods found on local beaches, is a collaboration between the three communties in the area - Sun Valley / Fish Hoek/ Noordhoek / Kommetjie; Ocean View and Masiphumelele.

The street parade, which brought traffic to a standstill, was a loud and colouful affair that ended on the public open space in front of the Sun Valley mall where musical items, drumming and dancing took place.

Despite a howling South-easter, most of the participants seemed to enjoy the day.
