The City of Cape Town and the Cape Cultural Events and Carnival Committee have reached an agreement to move the annual minstrel carnival from Saturday 3 January to Monday 5 January 2015.
This decision has been taken in order to respect the religious significance of the original date of 3 January.
Residents are advised to take note of the change in the date.
The event will take place between 12:00 and 23:30.
The route will now revert back to the original course through the Bo-Kaap.
The City will assist with the new logistical arrangements that are required. This will include traffic services to minimise the impact of the road closures, as well as the provision of generators, waste management services, Metro Police, Law Enforcement, Disaster Risk Management and Fire and Rescue Services and any other internal costs for which the City is legislatively responsible.
The City has also given permission for the Cape District Minstrel Board to make use of the Ravensmead Stadium.
Happy Holiday wishes to all!
