It’s that time of the year again when we celebrate what it means to be South African! This year Heritage Day falls on Tuesday, 24 September 2019.

We’ve compiled a list of activities and events to help you celebrate National Heritage Day and the long weekend.

"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." - Nelson Mandela

• In KwaZulu-Natal the 24 September was known as Shaka Day, in commemoration of the Zulu King, Shaka.
• In 1995 it became known as Heritage Day to recognise the diverse cultural heritage that makes up our Rainbow Nation.
• In 2007, after a pointed media campaign by Jan Braai, the day got nicknamed “Braai Day.” Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu was made the national spokesperson for “Braai Day.”

The Mother City does not disappoint with a range of Heritage Day events happening. From potjie challenges to South African style buffets, Cape Town will ensure you get to celebrate in style!
