Dear Friends,
Welcome to the South African Embassy website.
Heritage Month during Covid19 and social distancing (1 to 30 September)
Heritage Month is celebrated annually in September. While respecting social distancing and working remotely when required, in an effort to slow the spread of the Coronavirus, the South African Embassy understands the difficulties surrounding a number of this year’s festivities. As COVID-19 spreads to an ever-growing segment of the global population, the top priority of every organization in this time of crisis is health.
The celebration of Heritage Month recognises all aspects of South Africa’s culture which are both perceptible and imperceptible: This is our shared historical inheritance, language, South African cuisines and the creative expression such as music and performances, as well as the popular memory.
Government calls on all South Africans to use Heritage Month to foster greater social cohesion, nation building and a shared national identity. Read More..
