This Heritage Day, we celebrate the many cultures, traditions, languages and experiences that shape who we are as South Africans.
At the University of Johannesburg, our diversity is an important part of our identity. We believe that embracing different backgrounds and perspectives enriches our university community and strengthens our commitment to inclusivity, mutual respect and belonging.
As we honour our cultural heritage, we also celebrate our natural heritage. In this special episode of The Hot Talk- VC chilling with Hoepie, recorded at the Kruger National Park, we pay tribute to 100 years of conservation, history and the extraordinary natural beauty that forms part of our national identity.
From sharing a traditional meal around the braai to expressing our cultural pride in our own unique ways, Heritage Day reminds us that there is room for everyone in our collective story.
