If you’re still wondering what to do on Heritage Day, how about taking your family to the Castle of Good Hope.
The theme for this year’s Heritage Day is ‘the year of Charlotte Maxeke: Celebrating SA’s intangible cultural heritage’.
Visitors can look forward to free-guided tours through the Castle’s 10 different exhibitions currently on display, Khoi, Sotho, San and Nguni cultural performances. A storytelling and life history session, women’s wellness yoga session on the lawns, a cultural talent show which has been organised by a local radio station.
Musical performances will be conducted by the Pennsylvanians Minstrels, a drama performance as well as a Netherlandse liedjies by the Cape Malay CHoir Board. “People are disorientated, confused and uncertain in the wake of global events. By focusing on where they come from – their heritage, their culture - they would be better equipped to deal with the present and future challenges. We want to offer them something that provides them hope and strength,” Igshaan Higgins from the Cape Muslim & Slave Heritage Museum said.Members of the public should note entrance to the Castle on September 24 and 25 are free.
