Heritage Day takes place on September 24, and South Africans will have the opportunity to celebrate this day in their own environment, at home or elsewhere.
The annual reminder of who we are as a nation, and where we come from culturally, will be celebrated when South Africans honour African heritage at the aha Lesedi Cultural Village on Tuesday.
This beautiful hamlet is situated at the historical Cradle of Humankind. In its setting, it is socially and culturally unique, and is an unforgettable experience.
Guests lucky enough to visit aha Lesedi get to experience traditional life at five authentic tribal homesteads. A visit to the homesteads opens up a genuine window into the lifestyles, customs and traditions of the Zulu, Xhosa, Bapedi, Basotho and Ndebele people.
Aha Lesedi is a living tribute to the vast diversity of South Africa’s people, bringing age-old lifestyles and customs to life in a beautiful bushveld setting. Aha Hotels and Lodges CEO Graeme Edmond said: “Heritage Day is a testament to everything that makes us so proudly South African. And what better way to celebrate it than to visit a unique part of the country that truly honours South Africa’s people and culture? The Lesedi experience is something you won’t find anywhere else in the world. There’s incredible food, amazing entertainment and vibrant culture that will always be a part of South Africa’s identity.”
Lesedi is a short drive from Johannesburg, a picturesque Cradle’s bushveld landscape. Its look and feel represent an outward celebration of African cultures and ubuntu spirit.
