Let's Talk Heritage

This Community Project is in line with the South African Government's call, stated in the South African Governments Event Calendar 2022.

"Government calls on all South Africans to use Heritage Month to foster greater social cohesion, nation building and a shared national identity.

The celebration of Heritage Month has created a conducive environment for all people to embrace and celebrate what was inherited or bequeathed to us by our forebears."
