Happy Heritage Day!

Heritage Day is tomorrow! On Saturday September 24^th, families and friends alike will join together to celebrate and reflect upon our rich cultural heritage and diversity.

Heritage Day is the among newest of our national holidays, but the day itself was not without significance and history before being adopted and rebranded as a day celebrating South Africa’s rich cultural heritage and diverse traditions.

Traditionally September 24 was formally called Shaka’s Day, in commemoration of the legendary King Shaka kaSenzangakhona, one of the most influential Zulu monarchs who is known for uniting the Zulu empire. Zulu warriors and chiefs chose to honor him on this day and gather at his grave every year. As a symbol of dignity and power for black South Africans, Shaka is remembered for using both spear and diplomacy to conquer other tribes. Today we have expanded this celebration of the diversity of the tribes that Shaka brought together in his kingdom to celebrate the greater diversity of our modern state.

The braai and potjie of course are some of the most natural pastimes that bring people together. It’s the hierdie ding doen ons saam [this thing we do together] and perhaps lies at the heart of what it means to be South African. But we know that there are many ways to celebrate being a proud South African!

Here at DealZone we have provided our subscribers with a taste of the exciting events being staged around the country so that you can go out and show your love and pride this holiday. Take advantage of the holiday weekend and add a little spice to your life by going to an event or take your family out and celebrate being South African!
