Happy Heritage Day 2026 🇿🇦🌿

Today we celebrate Heritage Day under the national theme:

“Celebrating Our Living Heritage: Strengthening the Ties That Bind Us.”

But what exactly do we mean when we say heritage?

Our heritage is not only found in monuments, museums or the things we can see.

It lives in our languages, stories, names, rituals, beliefs, healing practices, music, crafts, family traditions and the knowledge carried from one generation to another. South Africa’s Department of Sport, Arts and Culture describes living heritage as something dynamic and actively transmitted through communities.

The history of 24 September also reminds us that our national Heritage Day emerged from a conversation around Shaka Day and how South Africa could recognise diverse cultural heritage within a shared national day. The first post-apartheid Heritage Day was celebrated on 24 September 1995.

So today, I want us to go beyond simply celebrating our heritage.

Let us remember it.
Let us understand it.
Let us live it.
And let us consciously decide what we carry forward.

What is that one piece of knowledge your family passed down to you that you never want forgotten - something you want to keep alive for the next generation?

Tell me in the comments. I would love to read what our community carries.

The Basotho Calendar 🇱🇸📅

For the past 5 years, I have consciously started observing the Basotho Calendar.

My journey actually began much earlier.

In 2009, I discovered that the version of our calendar taught in school was incorrect. From there, I began studying life through a Basotho lens.

And only in 2020, during COVID, did I really see how, over the years, my life was already aligning with the Calendar.

Stories for days to come. ❤️

But in today's lesson, I came simply to share what the Basotho Calendar looks like and why.

🌙 It is a 13-month Lunar Year.

A Sick Child: A Mother's Night Vigil 🤱

There is a side of motherhood that is rarely spoken about - the sleepless nights, the constant checking of temperatures, and the quiet prayers whispered over a sick child.

Tonight, I share a page from my journal on caring for my son through illness and how motherhood has taught me to appreciate the ordinary moments we often take for granted.

Sometimes, the noise we long to escape is actually the sound of life.
