AfrikaBurn, an annual gathering of revellers in the Tankwa Karoo, follows the principles and
practice of the American Burning Man festival. Its 11 principles align with a transformative
new age philosophy. A focal point at AfrikaBurn each year is its “Temple”. The organisation
described it as follows, “AfrikaBurn’s physical and emotional landscape [is] a space of
contemplation and reflection, an area of sanctuary, a site of calm on the edge of the chaos
and cacophony of Tankwa Town. A space to spend time with one’s own thoughts, reflect on
one’s life, the lives of others, those recently passed, ancestors.”
