Geo Answer and Global Hit

On today’s Geo Quiz we were looking for a South African city that was once a way-station for the Dutch East India Company. The answer is Cape Town. That city’s streets come alive this week with the sounds of marching minstrels. It’s part of a new-year’s tradition that dates back to the days when the Dutch forced people from Southeast Asia to work as slaves in Cape Town. Terry FitzPatrick sent us this report.
