Every year on the 02 Jan the streets of Cape Town, South Africa come alive when the city's mixed-race population celebrates the so-called Kaapse Klopse (also known as Cape Town Minstrel Carnival or the Cape Town Coon Carnival). Its roots go back to the emancipation of the slaves in South Africa in 1834. The 23min Al Jazeera documentary "Cape Town Carnival" follows two troupes through planning and practice to the competition phase, where they will compete in a number of different events, and passions run high.
