VOX POP: Appreciating the heritage of different cultures
NORTHLANDS – The Randburg Sun spoke to people from a variety of different cultures.
Tariro Ngimi – Zimbabwe: "I love that we are a very creative people, for example when you look at the ancient structures of Great Zimbabwe and how artistically and architecturally appealing they were. The designs used in the arts from pottery work to ancient sculptures is something to be proud of."
September is Heritage Month, and it’s all about recognising all the aspects of South African culture which are both tangible and intangible.
This includes appreciating creative expressions such as music and performances, historical inheritance, language, food and history.
It is also a time to respect the heritage of others who have chosen to make South Africa their home.
The Randburg Sun spoke to parents at the British International Preparatory School during their annual International Day on 7 September, asking them what their favourite thing was about their heritage.
