Minstrel and Malay Choir events back on the road

<span><p>After a two year absence due to Covid-19, it is a distinct pleasure to announce that the annual Minstrel competitions, Malay choir road marches and the historic 2de Nuwe Jaar Minstrel Parade will return this summer. </p><p>The City of Cape Town will once again provide financial support, event services and waive the use of City facilities for the events. <br></p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/Mistrel2.jpg" class="responsive" alt="" style="width:882px;" /> </figure></span><p>'These events represent the rich heritage of our beautiful city and they mean so much to thousands of Capetonians who have grown up with the culture associated with Minstrels and Malay Choirs. Not seeing them performing over the last two summers has left a cultural hole in Cape Town. We have all waited eagerly for this day. Ons wil almal weer 'n slag die klanke van die ghoema hoor en die kleure van die klopse in ons strate sien!</p><p>'We are really looking forward to working with the organisations to ensure we put on a massive celebration for their return and to ensure those who make a livelihood through these events can continue doing so,' said Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis. </p><p>The first of the events, the Cape Malay Choir Board Choral competition, is taking place at the Good Hope Christian Centre in Ottery on Saturday 24 September 2022. </p><p> </p><span><div class="image-gallery-slider img-gal-1" id="img-gal-1" data-slide="1" data-slides="3" style="height:493.5px;"><div class="image-gallery-content" style="height:414px;"> <figure class="itemSlide slide-left slide-1"> <img src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/Minstrel1.jpg" class="responsive" alt="" style="width:1042px;" /> <figcaption class="image-slide-text" style="display:none;"> <p> <a href="#" title="title"> <b></b></a>Minstrel and Malay Choir events back on the road</p> </figcaption> </figure> <figure class="itemSlide slide-left slide-2"> <img src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/Minstrel3.jpg" class="responsive" alt="" style="width:2140px;" /> <figcaption class="image-slide-text" style="display:none;"> <p> <b></b>Minstrel and Malay Choir events back on the road</p> </figcaption> </figure> <figure class="itemSlide slide-left slide-3"> <img src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/groupSmileMinstrelsMalaySept2022.jpg" class="responsive" alt="" style="width:948px;" /> <figcaption class="image-slide-text" style="display:none;"> <p> <b></b>Minstrel and Malay Choir events back on the road</p> </figcaption> </figure> </div><div class="image-gallery-control"><div class="image-gallery-caption"><p> <a href="#" title="title"> <b>Aerial view of Cape Town</b></a> - Loren ipsum dolor sit amet loren ipsum dolor sit amet Loren ipsum dolor sit amet.</p></div><div class="image-gallery-nav"><div class="nav-info">1 of 3</div><div class="slide-next"> <i class="icon arrow-white-next"></i> </div><div class="slide-prev"> <i class="icon arrow-white-prev"></i></div></div></div></div></span><p><br></p>
