Western Cape Boys Jumps in Gobabis Namibie

2007-05-31T14:14:00.000+02:00

Thank you to Hennie van Niekerk (part of the organizing committee of the Gobabis "Vleis Fees")who decided to imported the Rope Skippers from the Western Cape to Namibie for his "vleis fees". During the festival Sibusiso; Masixole and Nicholas had the opportunity to share the stage with other artists and after performing were swamped by children interested to learn a few tricks with a rope. This led of course to small teaching sessions. We hope that this sparked something special in Gobabis and that rope skipping in Namibie will grow.
