My Heritage<br />

South Africa has been famously referred to as the rainbow nation because it is made up<br />

of so many diverse cultures and religions. Contained within South Africa's borders are<br />

Zulu, Xhosa, Pedi, Tswana, Ndebele, Khoisan, Hindu, Muslim, and Afrikaner people to<br />

name but a few. These people are united by calling South Africa home, and therefore<br />

their lives all contribute to forming a part of the country’s heritage, identity and culture.<br />

Understanding that South Africa is composed of all these various influences is essential<br />

for helping South Africans to understand and respect each other and to learn from each<br />

other’s cultural practices. This is part of the healing that democracy has brought after<br />

culture was used to divide South Africans in the past.
