SHOW: The Klopse are colourful

Rising costs and fewer troepe are threatening the traditional Tweede Nuwejaar parade, with the organisers announcing a drastic route change and change in format.

The traditional gathering at the Grand Parade and people lining Darling, Adderley and Wale Streets to catch a glimpse of the Klopse will be no more.

It will be especially devastating for the people of Bo-Kaap, who for years came with their chairs and umbrellas al van vroeg af to book their seats along Wale Street up until Rose Street in Bo-Kaap to get the best view.
