So today is Heritage Day in South Africa and its a time to celebrate all the different cultures and traditions that we enjoy in South Africa.
My kids school celebrated Heritage Day on Friday and the brief was to dress them in traditional clothing and provide them with traditional food.
Now when I was in school, this was always a problem for me. I never knew what to wear because as a Coloured girl and growing up in a Coloured household, we never really had any sort of specific traditional clothing. I don’t really remember a time when I actually wore anything traditional to school on Heritage Day.
