If you have not been to Athlone Stadium for the annual Kaapse Klopse Choral Competition hosted by the Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association (KKKA), where have you been? In true Cape Town tradition, thousands of spectators made their way to the stadium to support their favourite troupes in action for the past four weeks and see who makes it to the next round. The stands were filled with spectators of all ages dancing and singing along.
Some lucky winners even went home with some lekker cash prizes and devices. On Saturday, teams competed in the Section 1 finale, featuring the Juvenile Combined Chorus, Adult Coon Song, Best Band and Group Song competitions. The stage was filled with electrifying performances from Baruch Entertainers, TV Stars, Cape Town Hawkers, Hanover D6, Seawind Entertainers, Phantom CD and Ashwin Willemse Orient.
Baruch Entertainers won the Section 1 title this weekend, ahead of the announcement of the overall winners next week as the Section 2 teams battle on the final day – Saturday, February 7. As the competition draws to a close, spectators and troupers said that they are looking forward to the last day of the competition this Saturday with much anticipation as the overall winner will be announced.
