Over 1500 performers will showcase theirtalentunder the theme“FollowYourHeART”on theGreen PointFan Walk in an explosionofcolourand entertainment during the16thedition of the carnival
Casiwe,one of theleaddancers at theannual carnival,endured many yearsofheartache and hatred before hiselevation to the topofthisyearlyspectacle.And he attributes hisresilienceand rise to hisformerteacher andmentor Nolufefe Racula
The22-year-old joined agroup of youngdancers whilehewas a learneratQingqaMntwana Primary School at OldCrossroads under theguidanceofRaculawho honed hisdance movesand skills
Littledid he know that this would draw theire of certaincommunity members.
“Peoplehated me andI waseven calleda ‘moffie’,” he tells People’s Post Thesedid notdeter hisfocus as he tirelesslystrived to be thebest at dancing.
Todayheisthe beacon of hope to many youngpeopleinhis community.“Noweveryoneloves me Most people want to be part of the group,”hesays, explaining that he workswith60young people between theagesof11and 18.The dancersare nowpreparing for this year’s festival on Saturday 21 March.
“Weencourage thechildren, especially theboys, to remain hum-
bleand be confident in themselves Forinstance, at my ageI stillwash dishes at home andmostofthem thinkI am lyingwhenI tell them that.Crime will always be there, butthere is certainlychangeinour community”explainsCasiwewho shares ahouse with hismother, grandmotherand five siblings “There is also unityamong allour membersand youcan seethatthey choosetheir friendscarefully.”
Despitehis resilience and fighting spirit,challenges remain Casiwe says whiletheir focusis always on theCapeTownCarnival, they also performatcommunity events.“Most of thechildrendo nothavemeans to buyclothes for ourperformancesand Ihaveto buyfor them from thelittlemoney Imakefrommypart-time jobs “Lastyear, IboughtthemT-shirts to participateinlocal events,” he says,expressing gratitudetothe carnival organisers forsupporting thegroup annually to participatein theevent
“Theysupport us with theclothes andthatiswhere we gettosee people from othernations,” he explains butcalls for“supporters” to ensure thegroup continuesits work in society.
Explaining themotivebehindthe group, Racula tells People’s Post that shegrewupina family that lovedmusic.She also pays homage to hermotherwho instructed her to remain loyaltoall thechildren.
“I lovedsinging from ayoung age andI wasinspiredbymymother whowas amusic conductor. Before shedied(in 2009), sheinstructed me to take care of thechildrenand help them in music,”she says Racula hasbeen part of theCape Town Carnival sinceinception and haswitnessedits evolutionover theyears.“Ioncedancedwith them,but my attire wasdifferent anda bitlonger,”she says Shepraises thegroup fortransformingchildreninCrossroads “I always availmyclass to the

Hi partner. Breathewithme (inahale,hold, exhale).
Icallyou partnerbecause Ido notsee youasjusta reader,I see youassomeone walkingwithme, we’vedonesosuccessfully in the last year,wemight as well keep walking, walkingisanevent,and alleventshappenwitha reason, this walk,thoughunexplainable, hopefully leadsustogentlepaths When Iask youtobreathe with me, it is an invitation to pause, notto perform. Andright now, that pause feelsmoreimportant than ever
So heypartner .welcome to 2026 ,thisismy firstcolumnfor theyearand Ihopetoshare many “hey partner” momentswithyou When oftenasked whereI’m from Ialwaysjokinglysay I’ma citizenofthe worldand Decemberprovedjustthat, Ispent most of it on theroad, between cities, between communities Zwelethemba in Worcester, Mdantsanein East London,New Brighton in Port ElizabethlastlyKwaNokuthulain PlettenbergBay Theroads blurredunder the wheels, townsand townships passing like pagesina book Icould notput down.And as Itravelled, I realised that notevery storyhas a headline.Somejustmakethe heart
Inoticed somethingthatstayed with me.Inmanyhomes and streets, people wouldkeep quietat thefaceofinjustice or quietlyshare theirthoughts, theirfrustrations, theirhopes,but ofteninhushed tones.
They spokecarefully,sometimes as if testingwhether it wassafeto be heard. Ithenrealisedpeopleare notsilentbecause they do notcare. They areoften silent because, over generations, they have been taught that theirvoicesdonot matter. Taught to doubttheir worth, to normalisebeing ignored, to survive quietly. Butinsomespaces, I’ve seen somethingdifferent, somethingquietly revolutionary, people speaking up,insisting to be seen,to be heard, to matter.
In Zwelethemba, Imet agrandmother tendinga community garden.Her handsweredarkened by soil andsunlight, hervoice soft but firm.She told me shestarted thegardenfor thechildrenasa safe placetoplay, to learn, to feel proudoftheir surroundings.Itwas notonthe news.Itdid notgoviral Yetwatchingthe children harvest vegetables,their laughter spilling over thefencesand into thestreets, Ifeltthe powerofsmall victories. It is thekindofstory that reminds youthisiswhatmatters
In Mdantsane, Iobservedsomethingelse, aquiet revolution in the ordinary.A groupofneighbours haddecided to cleantheir streets
forChristmas,not becauseanyone askedthemto, notbecause it wouldberecognised, butbecause it matteredtothem, to theirchildren,totheir senseofdignity.One person picked up aplastic bottle, anotherswept thedust, afew planted flowersalong thekerb. By theend of theafternoon,a street that hadfeltforgottennow looked aliveagain.Care, it seems, is contagious.
Andthenthere wasNew Brighton. Here,I witnesseda younglady starta readingcircleinher back yard.Itbegan with threechildren anda fewbooks. It wasa beautiful sighttobeholdasthe children’s eyes lightupwithstories from distantworlds. Smallactslikea book,a smile, amomentofshared attentioncan ripplefurther than we imagine.
Even in PlettenbergBay,KwaNokuthula, Ifound moments that reminded me of resilience.A groupoflocal artistshad revitalised homesfor low-income residents. They were young, loud, andunapologetically joyful.With each brushstrokethe houses told newstories of hope,colour, and possibility December reminded me that thesemoments,quiet as they may be,are everywhere in gardens, streets, back yards, neighbourhoodsand kitchens.Theyare about connection, resilience,and humanity. They arevictories of everyday life.Theydonot make headlines.
They do not fill news reels. But they remind us that healingbegins when we speak, when we act, when we notice each other.
Your voicematters toowhether youliveinthe marginsorthe suburbs. Youdonot have to shout to be heard. If somethingfeelswrong in your community,knock on thedoor of amedia house. Asktospeak to ajournalist. Shareyourstory Becauseinjustice thrivesinsilence, andeverydayvictories thrive when they areacknowledged. Reflecting on 2025,I noticeda pattern;our worldmoves quickly. Ourfeedsscrollendlessly. We click, share, react, andmoveon. Butlifeisnot in thefast-forward. Life is in thepause.Inthe gentle moments, theordinaryactsof kindness, theconversations that aretenderand truthful.Before we chasethe new, let’slook back at what made us pause, smile, or rethink.
So,partner,I invite youto breathewithme. Notice thesmall victoriesaroundyou.Speak up when youmust. Celebratewhen youcan.Connect when it matters.And remember theseare the momentsthatshape us,the stories that matter, thevictories that do notalwaysmakeheadlines but lightour hearts nonetheless.
