During this month, South Africans are encouraged to celebrate their culture, heritage and diverse traditions, in the wider context of a nation that belongs to all its people. This also happens when the weather gets warmer, flowers and trees flourish which means we get to celebrate in our bright colours as a rainbow nation.

This Unit’s functions and roles in our department is of an enormous stature. We shall focus on the contributions played in celebrating the significant days and our liberation stalwarts.
This month’s issue will focus on South Africa’s heritage with a spotlight on indigenous music, food and its immense contribution to our sport, arts, culture, and heritage especially for our various communities in hostels, townships, and peri urban areas.
In the hope to inspire you, we will also be sharing what our colleagues are doing in line with departmental programmes and their achievements.
In other exciting news, the Gauteng Heritage Carnival is back, we will once again get to see how creatives in the arts fraternity creatively respond to the concept of heritage celebration.
Through this edition we hope you are entertained, inspired, and educated as we aim for it to be.

OUR HERITAGE AND CULTURE ARE KEY TO THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY
The one thing the future can’t take away from a family, community, town, city and a nation is its past.
Celebrating our heritage keeps our communities and our Rainbow Nation together and passes on our values, traditions, and meanings from generation to generation.
September, our Heritage Month, reminds us that cultural and heritage through resources associated with people, events or aspects of our country’s past, give our country its sense of identity and help tell its story.
That is why in the newsletter we feature organisations that specialise in arts, crafts and clothing. K.Moraba, Nguni Shades cc and, Ithemba Lomphakathi Crafters and Designers are just a few organisations reminding us that arts, crafts and clothing are key to not only celebrating and preserving our nation’s rich cultural heritage, but creating sustainable opportunities for skills development and economic growth.
Even as we celebrate our culture and heritage every day, this month, we are reminded that communities that lose their heritage, or those who do not nurture their cultural potential, may not have the historic, cultural and natural resources it takes to develop a programme that will attract cultural heritage economies.
Ideally, heritage projects are cooperative efforts, involving much of the community. Properly implemented, heritage projects result in economic growth, as well as restoration and preservation of community resources.
The recognition of these cultural and heritage resources and many others, bring about, economic development through private investment, and citizenship building.
That is why cultural clothes and crafts have a key role to play in the economic development of our country.
Culture and heritage commerce creates economic opportunities for customers while also celebrating the rich diversity of our country. It is important to celebrate our heritage. It is the only way our culture will continue and grow. We have a duty to learn, collect, and nurture the traditions and artifacts, but also to share it with our communities and everyone we meet.
The benefits of our cultural heritage is the diversification of local economies and preservation of our nation’s unique character.
Our country is well known for its lavish hospitality and its melting pot of cultures. Beyond our arts, crafts and clothing, our coastal cities and towns have some of the longest beaches in the world, and we have beautiful forests wildlife and landscapes, both on the plains and in the hills.
Let us celebrate our heritage. It breathes life and meaning into our identities and our knowledge of who we are. It helps to explore the past and see how our heritage is with us today and tomorrow.

LIVING HERITAGE
Most of the youth in our contry celebrate the day by remembering the cultural heritage of the many cultures that make up the population of South Africa. Various events are staged throughout the country to commemorate this day.
On this day the youth seeks to enhance thier own culture by their outlook presentation of how they have preserved them selves in solute with thier beliefs.
Living heritage is the foundation of all communities and an essential source of identity and continuity. Aspects of living heritage include: cultural tradition, oral history, performance, ritual, popular memory, skills and techniques, indigenous knowledge system and the holistic approach to nature, society and social relationships. In South Africa the term “intangible cultural heritage” is used interchangeably with the term “living heritage”.
Living heritage plays an important role in promoting cultural diversity, social cohesion, reconciliation, peace and economic development. In every community there are living human treasures who possess a high degree of knowledge, skills and history pertaining to different aspects of diverse living heritage. It is therefore important for South Africans to reclaim, restore and preserve these various aspects of living heritage to accelerate the use of living heritage to address challenges communities are facing today.

My name is Cebolenkosi Sfanelo Ngcobo, I furthered my studied at Tshwane University of Technology from 2007 to 2011 and while I was at the University, I served as a Secretary for Local Student Representative Council (LSRC), where I obtained crucial leadership skills.
I started working as a teacher in Ladysmith, KZN Province, and later moved back to Pretoria to work for the Department of Art and Culture (DAC) in the National Languages Services unit. I Joined the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation in 2014 as Assistant Director Language development and got promoted to a Deputy Director responsible for: IKS, Language development and Geographical Names in the main.
The most interesting part about working under Heritage directorate is to be part of a team that is responsible for the transformation of the Gauteng Landscape
I was born and bred in Kwa-Nongoma known as “Hlalankosi” where the Zulu Kingdom is situated, the word is from the Zulu language. I’m the offspring of Phumzile Ndwandwe-Ngcobo and Nkosinathi Ngcobo who are both late. The Ngcobo clan is wellknown mainly in the Northern part of KZN, at a place named after their clan-name, “EmaQadini”.
My family’s clan names are Ngcobo, Mapholoba, Fuze, Mashiya’mahle ngathi azoshumayela.
Yes, our unit plays a significant role in the Heritage space in the Gauteng province, partnering with the National Department of Sport, Arts and Culture in preparations for hosting Heritage Day celebration on the 24th September 2022, implementing Indigenous Language Debates, Indigenous Knowledge programme, launching the liberation history routes including changing names of geographic features such as street names that are offensive or incorrectly spelled according the origins of the language.
We also played a pivotal role in sending off the late Zulu queen and supporting 114 maidens (amatshitshi) to partake in the Zulu Royal Reed Dance on the 17th September 2022.
As we are celebrating Heritage Month, what role does your unit play in the promotion of our Heritage?
Up Close ‘n Personal 19|Ntshebele |SEPT 2022
20|Ntshebele |SEPT 2022
The role and functions of our unit extends to renaming of geographic features, promoting national symbols (#IamTheFlag campaign), promotion of multilingualism where we translate documents, promotion of cohesion of deaf culture between deaf kids and parents, school debates, indigenous languages spellathon, promotion of all official languages and sign language in mainstream schools.
We further protect, promote, and preserve the Indigenous Knowledge System.
On a personal basis, I make sure that I practice my culture as a living inheritance as my clan has taught my children and I, and the people I interact with daily learn by emulating this as a way of life. I make sure that I speak my language for people around me to get used to the Zulu sound and pronunciation and practise my culture through social engagements with them.
I encourage other tribes to preserve their own culture and learn from others because culture is dynamic. As a linguist, I’m continuously learning other languages and this affords me an opportunity to interact, hear and respond in other languages such as Xitsonga, Sepedi and Setswana; after all everything under the universe (iZulu) is Zulu and universal.
Mr. BI Phakathi inspires me daily based on his videos he shares through social media assisting the poor to make it through their difficult situations, as I learned that we cannot change the world, but we can make a difference to one person at a time.
Please go in depth on the functions and role your unit plays in line with service delivery.
Who inspires you on a daily to make a difference in society?
“i am very shy and tall at heart, and this allows me to be humble and to be able to listen and guide the people who rely on my leadership as a para legal.
Who is your favourite musician and what is it about the music that makes you jam to it?
Although I honestly love various genres of music, but Dumi Mkoksdad, a gospel artist, as a God fearing man, his music makes me feel connected to God.
What do you do on your spare time?
I like reading political pieces, hiking, watching soccer as a fan of the oldest team in South Africa, Orlando Pirates.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Career wise, I see myself leading government to be an effective and efficient machinery for service delivery at the level of a Chief Director or DDG of any Department or parastatal, ngiyethemba uNkulunkulu nabakithi asebengamathonga amahle bazongizwa kulesifiso sami, bangivikele futhi bangisize, they did not bring me this far to leave me.

Heritage, while it is simply defined in several dictionaries and thesaurus as honour or pride that comes to one because of birth or through inheritance, transcends this. Heritage also comes by socialisation. It refers to the principles that one is taught by family and society. This is how one of ama 2k sees heritage and culture as well as the need to preserve them despite the changing perceptions caused by globalisation.
2000 born say that in some instances, heritage comes from the observation of common practices within one’s environment, practices that are naturally human, practices that even if one is not taught, they come naturally to human behavior such as ubuntu. They took part in various celebrations and festivities that happen around Heritage Day, but as always, they say with celebrations, including Africa Day and Youth Day, culture and heritage should not only be celebrated in one day. Our culture is expressed in the way we live; the kind of food we eat; the way we dress; the way we interact with others, particularly with elders or the vulnerable groups. They used social media to express the stuff they like about our African heritage, a tool that many young people have managed to influence.
Dimpho Maboya
They mentioned that culture and heritage influence their lifestyle. “The values that they possess, including being respectful, kind, tolerance, greeting elders, being polite and hardworking, were certainly passed through both through the Ndebele and Shona cultural practices, their origins. they cannot imagine living their life outside these inculcated values.
Some said they believe that the whole point of the Heritage Day is to wear your cultural and traditional dress, to be proud about who you are.” They believe that their history should be reinforced, especially to the youth., but the respect the foundation laid by our forefathers, and would appreciate to teach their children to respect and follow their African traditions
Some believe that it is important to preserve culture and heritage because the two add to national prestige. In cases where indigenous practices are at risk of disappearing due to the introduction of foreign cultures, preserving heritage helps in keeping people’s shared integrity and values.
24|Ntshebele |SEPT 2022
Young Africans should live the African brand through their diverse heritage and cultures even in the modern lifestyles young people lead. African culture in general, is at risk of being influenced by other practices, mainly due to the transfer of practices through globalisation. As a result, cultural identity has slowly shifted to an individual matter. Of course, there are those who are still grounded in cultural identity, but we cannot be unaware to the changes that are perceptible in modern-day cultural identity. African culture is dying because the new generation is not interested in the teachings of the ancestors, and has neglected the value of its heritage

“ the Gauteng Carnival made a grand return to celebrate Heritage Day 2022”
By Mpolokeng Moloi
The spectacular Gauteng Heritage Carnival made a comeback since 2019 after a threeyear hiatus. The carnival was staged in the City of Tshwane on Heritage Day, 24 September 2022.
With COVID-19 lockdown regulations now lifted, over five thousand participants showed up for the Gauteng Heritage Carnival as part of this year’s Heritage Day celebrations.
The Gauteng Heritage Carnival is a dazzling display of South African heritage through clothing, elaborate floats, and indigenous music and dance. A flagship project of the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, the carnival not only celebrates our diversity in cultures, but also contributes towards the growth of Gauteng’s creative economy and the creation of job opportunities in the arts sector.
The carnival parade began at the Union Buildings, travelling the Pretoria Heritage route in the City of Tshwane ending at Burgers Park.
35|Ntshebele |SEPT 2022
36|Ntshebele |SEPT 2022
The carnival paraders consisted of participants from regions of Gauteng, including school troupes who wore cultural costumes of different local traditions inclusive of foreign nationals living in the Gauteng Province. The parade incorporates brass bands, drum majorettes and choreographed dance and music performances.
The Department of Arts and Culture, in collaboration with the Gauteng Provincial Government hosted the 2022 National Heritage Day in Gauteng under theme for “Celebrating the Legacy of Solomon Linda and South Africa’s Indigenous Music”.
“We are ecstatic to be bringing back the Gauteng Heritage Carnival on the grand scale it deserves and that we have missed the past few years. It is an honour to have the carnival be a part of the nation’s celebration of our diverse heritage and cultural landscape, with this year’s focus on indigenous music. Music and other forms of art are a powerful medium of expression when it comes to representation and preservation of culture, storytelling and transmitting messages, as evident in the role music played in our struggle for democracy and freedom.” says MEC Mbali Hlophe.
“Heritage Month is critical for us to observe as it contributes towards the preservation of our unique, rich and diverse indigenous cultures. By coming together as a nation to collectively celebrate ourselves and our illustrious history fosters greater social cohesion, nation building and a shared national identity.” Concludes the MEC.

“
the Social Cohesion Games have come a long way since their inception.”
Sports continues to play a powerful role as a unifier for all Gauteng residents including South Africans and Africans from all over the continent, to come together to celebrate and solidify a common identity and shared humanity through the Social Cohesion Games.
Today marks the beginning of the fourth instalment of the Gauteng Social Cohesion Games. I am pleased that we can gather in this fashion, brought together by the love of sports, more especially because a few months ago, gathering in this manner was prohibited due to restrictions that were brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
40|Ntshebele |SEPT 2022
This launch was preceded by the introduction of the highly anticipated Integrated Sports and Arts Wednesday League Programme for Gauteng Schools on Wednesday 28, September 2022.
Meaningful change in our communities can only happen when government embraces community-based citizen-driven and civil society initiatives which promote social cohesion, nation building and mobilise residents and communities against the triple challenge of racism, xenophobia and gender-based violence in Gauteng.
At the inaugural games we had close to 1000 participants across all the regions of Gauteng participating in the games. This weekend will see more than 4000 participants take part in the games and for the first time, the games will feature five sporting codes: Football, Rugby, Cricket, Chess, and Netball.
Teams made up of participants from various nationalities will take part in the games, demonstrating the diversity of South Africa and co-existence with residents of different backgrounds and nationalities.
port should be an integral part of all our efforts to fight the scourge of gender-based violence, given its popularity and prominence, sport has a huge potential to drive social change.
These games also give us an opportunity to raise awareness and encourage our society to be intolerant of all forms of violence against women and girls. Let us all work together to create a safe and conducive environment for women and children to flourish.
Let the games begin. We are back, the social cohesion games are back.
