The third annual Cape Town Carnival shimmied and shook its way through the city's streets on Saturday night. It was watched by over 60 000 spectators.
The theme for this year's carnival was 'Cape-to-Cairo'. It featured nearly 2 000 dancers and performers. The carnival parade comprised 11 themed-pods, 9 decorated floats and 11 Academies.
Each Academy hosted around 150 community dancers. The three best lead dancers of the night will travel to Brazil to perform at the 2013 Rio Carnival.
