Fearless firefighters in tiny African skirts happily hosing down the cars accompanying the runners. ‘Zele’s Zulus’ helped decorating the city of Zele in African style, resulting in Zele’s first title of “Roparun city” in 2008. They have been defending their title for three years now and this year they are aiming for the title again. Firefighter Patrik Dauwe tells us about the Roparun and how a Belgian community finally came to understand the Dutch “Oranjegekte”, where an entire nation cheer as one.
