Cape Malay performances shine at Heritage Day Youth Festival

Organisers say the two-fold event is to get young people interested in their heritage and culture and to keep them away from social ills.

Youth from various underprivileged communities were invited to celebrate Heritage Day in this special way. “The significance of today is to create that heritage feeling and the value that our forefathers left behind for us, and we got the youth; we’re going to use raw talent; we’re going to use instruments that were used in the yesteryears, like the gummies you are hearing here; it’s free for everyone to come and join us to give significance to the day of heritage.”in the Keep the Dream Heritage Procession from District Six to the Cape Town City Hall this morning.

They also brought with them Ratiep, a trance-like spiritual practice that incorporates drumming, piercings, and prayer.
