 In partnership with Dear Residents, What is special about the month of September in South Africa? September marks Heritage Month, a month of recognising aspects of South African culture which are both tangible and intangible: creative expression…such as music and performances, our historical inheritance, language, the food we eat, to name but a few. On Heritage Day, 24 September, South Africans celebrate the day by remembering the cultural heritage of our many cultures making up our population. Various events are staged throughout the country to commemorate this special day. Please see our Village notice below. Let’s show Heart and Kindness and celebrate a Community getting to know each other on Heritage Day.  |
