Judah Square Rastafari Community in Knysna, South Africa
This is some footage from October 2009 when I visited the Rastafari community in Knysna, South Africa. I had first stayed there for a bit of time some ten years earlier while I was living in South Africa and went back to catch up with the breddrin.

Democracy Gauge - Mark Pather, a Rastafarian
In our regular Democracy Gauge feature, you rate our democracy with three colours. Green means that our democracy is healthy. Yellow means that we must be careful. And red means that our democracy is in danger. The dawn of democracy in 1994 filled many South Africans with hope for a better future. For Mark Pather, a Rastafarian from Judah Square in Knysna, the change was slow to come, especially in acceptance of his culture. But Pather says he is once again filled with hope.
Tanya Krause and Sphiwe Hobasi produced today's Democracy Gauge. It acknowledges all citizens and is powered by SABC News.

Die Judah Square Rasta-gemeenskap, ons gesels met hulle - PRONTUIT | 5 Nov 2018 | kykNET
PRONTUIT – DAGGA – SEG 3 – 5 NOV 2018
Vir Rastafariërs is dagga, of soos hulle dit noem, ganja, deel van hul geloofsoortuiging. Hulle rook en gebruik dit al jare onwettig, maar is verheug dat dit nou gewettig is. Ons was by die Judah Square Rasta-gemeenskap buite Knysna om met hulle te gesels.
To Rastafarians, dagga or as they choose to call it, ganja, forms an integral part of their spiritual practice and have been smoking and using it illegally for years, but with the recent news that the private use of cannabis is legal, they can breathe easily. We visited Judah Square, a Rasta-community outside of Knysna to find out more about their lifestyle and use of cannabis.

Creche na Judah Square Rastafarian Community
A cidade de Knysna, onde ficaram concentradas as seleções da Dinamarca e França, não é só conhecida pelo clima de tranquilidade, restaurantes especializados em frutos de mar e belas praias. O local também é famoso por abrigar a maior comunidade rastafari da África do Sul.
Fundada em 1993 na periferia de Knysna, a Judah Square Rastafarian Community conta com cerca de 30 famílias que seguem a risca os preceitos e ensinamentos do movimento surgido na Jamaica e que ficou famoso no mundo graças ao reggae e, especialmente, a Bob Marley.

57 Sec in Judah Square
Judah Square, Knysna, South Africa.
Judah Square is a Rastafari community situated in a small valley in Khayalethu South, a suburb of Knysna, a town in South Africa.
It was an informal settlement which developed into a formal one. It’s began in 1993 when the municipality responded to a request by the local Rasta’s to allocate them their own area. As per the development plan happening in the area, the Rastas still had to apply individually for lots but they were accorded beside one another.
