J Tselapedi on behalf of E Molewa: Southern African Heritage Day celebrations
The invocation of identity in a poem entitled 'Heritage' is a clear pointer to the relationship between heritage and identity. Heritage Day to us, then, is as much a day of tradition as it is a spiritual day. May we all see the next South African Heritage Day with culture and community fused in a nation-building embrace.

I Matsepe-Casaburri: Heritage Day celebration during Heritage Month
Poetry plays a significant role in the restoration of the memory of a nation. In the past poetry played an important role during the time when our people were engaged in the struggle to liberate their country, poets played their role by being social critics and were critical in mobilising, conscientising and educating the people. Dr Pallo Jordan, our Minister of Arts and Culture, at the launch of Heritage Month two weeks ago, said: "The art of the bard was about memory. [highlighted result]

People who have given up their roots, have nothing to give to South Africa, people who turn their on heritage, have nothing to contribute to South Africa. What we are saying, on this heritage day is that all of us must reclaim that history, that heritage and be proud of where we come from. We must not be ashamed of our slave history, we must infact, speak to the history of the Khoi and the San in the Western Cape. [highlighted result]

I must say that I was very disappointed when I heard that there are people who have decided that they are going to turn Heritage Day into national Braai Day. I do not have anything against braais but when you take an important day such as Heritage Day and turn it into a national Braai Day and then there is something wrong.
