Being South African is something to be proud of. There are so many Mzansi celebs whose patriotism is truly inspiring. Heritage Day, 24 September, is a day when South Africans can celebrate the diversity that makes SA such a wonderful place. Whether honouring your roots by dressing in colourful traditional wear or hanging around a braai, the point of Heritage Day is to remember and celebrate your culture.
It’s always amazing at how often and how many SA celebs stand up to not only protect their own culture but the multitude of cultures that make up Mzansi. Whether it is Sjava wearing traditional Zulu attire to an event in New York City, or Rachel Kolisi showing off her proudly Mzansi momma skills in Fiji, our celebs are constantly representing.
