Binnekring

Boskak

A boskak comes from South African slang meaning to relieve oneself in nature. There are some lovely toilets at the event site, rather use those!

Darkwad

A darkwad is a person who walks or cycles at night without any lights. This is extremely dangerous as there are mutant vehicles driving around who will not be able to see these people. Light yourself & your bicycle up at night by using LED's, head lamps, glow sticks,...

Being a lekker person will make both your and others burn an even better event. Ways to be lekker: be kind, be conscious, leave no trace, be positive, be creative, love.

The toilets in Tankwa Town are completely eco friendly, what goes into the toilets returns to the Earth. The rule is if it did not naturally come out of your body please do not put it there (and loo paper).

(ish)

Time moves differently in Tankwa Town. Ish is used to refer to a more broad sense of time than what you're maybe used too. It refers to African Time: a more relaxed attitude as opposed to the clock-bound pace of the Western countries. "When will we start the braai?", "Oh soon-ish".

MOOP

MOOP or matter out of place is everything that doesn't belong in the nature reserve. Read more about how to leave no trace at the event.

Right now, now now, just now.

Time is a whole different concept in South Africa. Right now, now now and just now come from Afrikaans: right now is this very moment, now now means shortly, just now means later to even never.

SOOP

SOOP means sound out of place and goes for all sound pollution. Afrikaburn has a sound policy in place this came forth out of a finding a balance between radical self-expression and community. The event site is limited and became over-dominated by large sound systems. With the sound policy, we can keep SOOP to a healthy limit.

Sparkle Pony

A Sparkle Pony is a high maintenance person who comes to the burn unprepared for the harsh environment it takes place in. They will have 30 outfits with them but barely any water. They will easily use others to take care of their basic needs and so become a burden to their camp mates. A Sparkle Pony completely throws the radical self-reliance principle out of the window.

Weekend Warriors

Weekend Warriors is the term used for people who only rock up to party hard in the weekend. Usually they're just here to consume and don't contribute much to the overal event.
