Praise singers, traditional healers, dancing, poets, storytelling and choral music are part of the week-long line-up of the annual Xhosa Festival in Langa township, South Africa.
The festival aims to celebrate one of the Western Cape's most popular languages and cultures and is funded by the local Department of Cultural Affairs, Sport and Recreation.
Langa is the home of deceased diva Brenda Fassie, who shares a Xhosa heritage with powerful political minds such as Nelson Mandela and President Thabo Mbeki.
Apart from performance arts, a Xhosa symbols exhibition aids visitors in understanding and appreciating isi-Xhosa. The festival was born out of the Xhosa Awareness Week, a project initiated by the Western Cape Language Committee a few years ago, and spearheaded by the department's Language Unit since inception.
The Western Cape Language Policy is also an influencing factor as the festival seeks to elevate the status of isi-Xhosa within the province.
