HERITAGE DAY MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
Heritage Day provides a special opportunity for all South Africans to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures that define our nation. It is a day to honour the traditions passed down through generations and to recognise and respect the diverse heritages within our community.
Our traditions not only connect us but also foster unity and understanding across different backgrounds. Heritage extends beyond the customs we observe; it encompasses the stories we share, the art we create, the music we enjoy, and the values we cherish.
As we celebrate Heritage Day this year, let us remember the importance of preserving these cultural treasures. By doing so, we ensure that future generations can appreciate and learn from the rich history that shapes our society. Embracing our heritage helps us build a stronger, more inclusive future.
On behalf of the Langeberg Municipality, I wish everyone a joyful Heritage Day. May this day inspire us all to celebrate and honour the vibrant diversity within our community.
Alderman SW van Eeden, Executive Mayor of Langeberg Municipality
