THE Kaapse Klopse tradition continues as the City of Cape Town proudly presents the Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association (KKKA) Annual Kaapse Klopse Choral Competition at Athlone Stadium on Saturday, January 31 2026. Spectators are in for a treat and can expect an electrifying day of rhythm, heritage and community with performers such as Baruch, TV Stars, CPT Hawkers, Hanover D6, Seawind Entertainers, Phantom CD and AW Orient. Reflecting on the season so far, Muneeb Gambeno, Director at the Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association, said the 2026 competition had already set a remarkable standard. When the stands are full, and the people sing saam, it lifts every troupe on that field. “We’ve already had standout highlights this season, from powerful juvenile performances to moppies that had the whole stadium laughing.
