HERITAGE MONTH 2026

Heritage Month in South Africa (SA) is a nationally recognised observance held annually in September. It provides an important opportunity for South Africans to reflect on our shared history, celebrate the richness and diversity of our cultural heritage and strengthen a collective sense of belonging. It is also a moment to reaffirm the constitutional values that undergird our democratic society built on the values of human dignity, equality, non-racialism, non-sexism, and the foundational spirit of Ubuntu.

Heritage Month is commemorated under the theme: “Celebrating Our Living Heritage: Strengthening the Ties That Bind Us.”
