Heritage day, in Afrikaans called "Erfenisdag" and in Xhosa called "Usuku lwamagugu - Usuku Lwamasiko."
We have been raised up knowing that on this month, we celebrate our Heritage. Our diverse Cultures and diverse races. South Africans celebrate the day again by remembering the cultural heritage of the many cultures that make up the population of South Africa. Various events are staged throughout the country to commemorate this day. ...
Heritage Day on 24 September recognises and celebrates the cultural wealth of our nation. It educates us on how to honour our God, the Son and the Holy spirit. It encourages us to love ourselves for who we are and where we come from. It further lets us recognise how much beauty there is within ourselves as individuals, families, communities, our country and the world as a whole.
Heritage Day, once known as Shaka Day, is celebrated in South Africa on September 24th. Shaka Day was originally named in honour of the legendary Zulu king, Shaka Zulu, who convinced multiple Zulu clans to stand together, united against the Boers and the British.
This year, UNESCO has decided on “Complex Pasts: Diverse Futures” as the theme for World Heritage Day celebrations. "The conservation of cultural heritage requires careful examination of the past, and its practice demands provision for the future", the world body said.
On this day; let us wear our exquisite traditional outfits, eat our deliciously prepared food and be proud of who we are- All Beautiful- All Unique- All Blessed.
To Peace, To Solidarity, To Unity, To Love, To Care, To A Better South Africa, To A Better World
