We would like to thank everyone who supports us, for without you this would not be possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lebohang Litsili started working at the carnival in 2012 as a welder. He also performed in the carnival parade as a stilt walker. However, he found his passion in the fabrication department.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thandi Swartbooi, coordinator for the Ithemba Labantu Dance group, said its dancers are delighted to be participating again this year. The Philippi-based group consists of 45 performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are excited and we cannot wait to showcase our talent to the spectators.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chad Abrahams, costume supervisor, explained his small team of 10 people had started with the sewing of costumes in November last year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are more than 1\u2009400 performers, so we started with the costumes of the community groups first. Then we did the costumes of the lead performers. We are now heading towards the end stage of the production process. It is very exciting, hard work and stressful, but it pays off in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abrahams said people can look forward to a lekker carnival and lekker costumes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
