South African Heritage Day, observed on September 24th, is a joyous acknowledgement and celebration of our nation’s diverse cultural heritage. This special day allows South Africans to reflect on and honour the rich cultural traditions that form the fabric of our society.
Heritage Day is celebrated in South Africa in ways as varied as the cultures it honours. Some individuals partake in vibrant cultural gatherings, including festivals, concerts, and traditional dances. Others choose to explore museums and historical landmarks, delving into the stories and legacies of their ancestors. Many also opt to spend quality time with loved ones, sharing cherished narratives and upholding time-honoured customs.
With an approximately 8,000-strong workforce across all divisions, ACTOM’s spirited and culturally adorned celebrations for Heritage Day were no secret. We thank all our staff for their dedication to fostering an atmosphere of celebration and mutual respect for each other’s heritage.
