Kebra Ethiopia Sound System - Steppers Session in Katlehong South Africa (HD Quality)

Kebra Ethiopia (Glory to Africa) is a Steppers Roots Reggae Sound System from South Africa, KwaThema in JHB. KwaThema is a township south-west of Springs in the district of Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa. It was established in 1951 when Africans were forcibly removed from Payneville because it was considered by the apartheid government to be too close to a white town.
Born out of sufferation & apartheid struggles, Kebra Ethiopia were already based in Mama Africa, where the Black inhabitants were forcibly displaced by the militarily powerful white minority. Kebra's message is one of upliftment & prosperity for Africa’s Black majority & they use Reggae music to promote Roots and Culture in embracing who we are as African people by delivering the music in Townships and communities.
Socio-economic issues and problems affecting Africa as a whole are addressed in their Steppers Sessions by having donation stations at the events to assist the poor. A few projects are under way in requesting this much needed assistance by sourcing sponsorships and donations for education, food & clothing etc under the banner: “Poor Man Movement”
Kebra are internationally known for the promotion of their Zulu inspired Steppers Line Dancing, Steppers Music & their Jamaican inspired Heavyweight Sound System which never fails to engage their global audience in the spirit & culture of a free South Africa, but one which is still recovering from the horrors of slavery, occupation & marginalisation in their ancestral lands.

this looks like a rootical and heartical gathering, something I would love to witness/experience. I am curious what my reception there might be like as a white Californian, well versed in Rastafari but still an obvious foreigner and outsider, and particularly with the history of the area as mentioned in the text introduction for the video. Would I be welcomed? Would I be a center of attention or would I be allowed to just soak it in with minimal attention? Would I feel comfortable there amongst the massive? Would I be welcomed or would I be shunned, or even worse, picked on or chased away, maybe even threatened with violence for my presence there? Any comments on how even reaching there might be? Should I find a guide to take me there or could I just show at the gate, pay the fee, and walk in all by myself?
I would feel totally confident doing this sort of scene in my country or in Jamaica, or England, but just don't know about the on-the-ground reality of South Africa.
I am probably too elderly now but would have loved to check this scene back in the day (though obviously things were much different then at least in some ways). Right now I watch this video and I see unity and strength like should always be everywhere but is so rare these days, here in the States right now. Raspects everytime, jb.
