Our more trippy readers might know that the Afrika Burns festival, South Africa’s newest excuse to get totally baked in the desert, wrapped up on Tuesday after five brightly-coloured days of parallel universes, flying dragons and fire.
And lets not forget the odd bout of “let’s chain the 11 year olds to the front of Abraham Lincoln’s motorbike”. Boy, I haven’t done that in AGES.
Afrika Burn is an annual event, where the free-spirited citizens of South Africa get together for a bring and braai. What do they braai? Their earthly possessions, mostly.
So let me get this straight. There’s no commerce, lumo party tents, people in creatively minimal clothing and massive bonfires?
Have they been to Obz before, do you think?
I think so.
