The role and value of social media, especially in The role and value of social media, especially in the context of today’s social pressures. Bongani Mzizi, a lead performer in the Cape Town Carnival’s annual street parade, encourages everyone to practice authenticity and prompted participants to question what they thought and felt about the powerful medium, and what kind of relationship they had with it.

“Umswenko embodies a deliberate celebratory self “Umswenko embodies a deliberate celebratory self-expression and a choice around how we present ourselves. Carnival as a whole is a platform for self-expression; either of your fullest true self or an aspect of who you are. This includes who you choose to associate with and how you share yourself with the world,” says Brad Baard, Creative Director for Cape Town Carnival.

“Joster’s style is a look still happening toda “Joster’s style is a look still happening today amongst men 45  and over. Pleated pants, panama, leather jacket , pringle t-shirt and crocket and jones shoes. Now in our communities you see the Nike tracksuits, Nike takkies, alles Nike! And bling too, whether it’s a silver chain, bracelets or rings – this is the swank happening in our neighborhoods today. It's all about the name brand , and it’s happening!” Pascoe said.

Nelson Mandela used the phrase 'The Rainbow Nation' to describe South Africa's diverse cultures, customs, traditions, histories and languages. 

At Carnival we learn within our diverse communities the art of being intercultural, a deep understanding and respect for all cultures, focusing on the exchange of ideas to develop deep relationships and connection. 

No one is left unchanged because we learn from one another and grow together.
