“Cultural heritage and natural history of a nation has a very high value and is unique. It is an identity that can be introduced to the world. The best way to preserve your culture heritage, whatever it may be, is to share it with others. This year Mpumalanga Show is proud to introduce the Standard Bank Cultural Village in partnership with Inkosi Malimbo 11. The Cultural Village will showcase the different cultural groups that exist within the province,” reads a statement from Sinentokozo Sgudla the project manager of the event.
