Muneeb Gambeno, Director of the Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association (KKKA), joined Lester Kiewit on the show to share the KKKA’s perspective on the Cape Town Minstrel Festival, or Klopse. Muneeb explained that rising costs, fewer participating troupes and the need to sustain the festival have driven proposals to adjust the format and route of the celebration. He emphasized that these changes aim to protect the Klopse and ensure its future, while balancing the festival’s cultural heritage with practical realities. The conversation offered listeners insight into the complex debate around preserving tradition, supporting performers and communities, and adapting the festival to meet current challenges.
