A very relaxed show this week and with a couple of beers and great laughs, we have Johan de Vries, who is visiting from the UK, but also a “potgooier” as well.  He is known for “Die Modderieland Potgooi”. His daughter Anja, his brother, Anton, myself and Bridgitte are part of the show.  It was awesome to meet him after 2-3 years or so after meeting in the podisphere.

We had a great chat about all kinds of things, so take a listen.

No show this week, but thought that it was about time to release the video we took on the 2nd of January 2008 during the Minstrel carnival or Kaapse Klopse, as it is known here too.

Enjoy the dancing, music and other interesting info about this tradition that is entrenched into Cape Town’s history and culture.
