Camp and Afrikaans cultures collide at the 'Pink Banana' parties, which have replaced the erstwhile Gat Parties as the gatherings where local gays and lesbians twirl around langarm-style (a local type of ballroom dance) to country-and-western-style tunes. The events take place irregularly at different venues around the Northern Suburbs; check the Facebook page for details.
People go in groups and bring their own food and drink (although there’s always a bar), but if you’re solo it won’t take you long to make friends. The DJs usually play a range of music that anyone can dance to.
