September is Heritage Month

September 27, 2022

We visited the kindergarten on the 24th of September and loved seeing the kids and their caregivers all dressed up celebrating their heritage.

Heritage mark the entire month of September in South Africa.

Who started Heritage Day?

In an address marking Heritage Day in 1996, former President Nelson Mandela stated: "When our first democratically-elected government decided to make Heritage Day one of our national days, we did so because we knew that our rich and varied cultural heritage has a profound power to help build our new nation."

Heritage Day on 24 September recognises and celebrates the cultural wealth of our nation. South Africans celebrate the day 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.
