Building a strong cultural identity, common heritage, shared values, and ethics with youth driven and African history celebration. Culture incorporates social behaviour and norms of a society as well as the language, knowledge, beliefs, traditions, arts, customs, capacities and habits of a certain community and SAVWA invests more resources in promoting national and regional cohesion by investing in African culture and heritage as a vehicle for promoting and achieving the national economic and social development goals outlined in Africa’s Agenda 2063.
The Heritage Month celebration will require volunteers to be involved in arts and cultural activities such as learning local South African arts and cultural activities and sharing their own cultural and values from their respective countries. Volunteers will work in groups and will be able to share each day and cook their local traditional food and teach children cultural and artistic activities and games.
This is an exciting project as volunteers have opportunity to work with different communities and interact with children in cultural and arts activities in the community.
Aspiration 5 of Agenda 2063 envisions ‘An Africa with a strong cultural identity, common heritage, shared values and ethics’. This calls for an African cultural renaissance which is pre-eminent and that inculcates the spirit of Pan Africanism; tapping Africa’s rich heritage and culture to ensure that the creative arts are major contributors to Africa’s growth and transformation; and restoring and preserving Africa’s cultural heritage, including its languages. We want to share this aspiration especially with our Month of celebration!

Volunteers in South Africa can look forward to a rich and diverse culinary experience influenced by the country's multicultural heritage. South African cuisine reflects a blend of traditional African dishes and flavors brought by Indian, Dutch, Malay, and British influences, making every meal an adventure for your taste buds.
Staple Foods
• Pap: A maize-based porridge, similar to polenta, often served as a side dish with stews or sauces.
• Braaivleis: The South African barbecue (or "braai") is a cherished tradition, featuring grilled meats like boerewors (a flavorful sausage), chicken, or lamb.
• Stews and Curries: Slow-cooked stews, often with a mix of vegetables and meat, are hearty and satisfying. Popular dishes include bobotie (a sweet and savory spiced minced meat dish) and bunny chow (a hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with curry).
Snacks and Street Food
• Vetkoek: A deep-fried dough filled with savory mince or enjoyed plain with jam.
• Samosas and Biltong: Indian-inspired crispy pastries and dried, spiced meat are popular grab-and-go snacks.
• Vegetarian Options
• South Africa offers plenty of vegetarian-friendly options, from samp and beans (a traditional dish made with maize and legumes) to flavorful vegetable curries.
• Koeksisters: Fried dough twists soaked in syrup for a decadent dessert.
Local Drinks
• Rooibos Tea: A caffeine-free tea unique to South Africa, with a naturally sweet and nutty flavor.
• Umqombothi: A traditional African beer made from maize, malt, and sorghum, often enjoyed during celebrations.
Whether you’re savoring a home-cooked meal with the community or trying something new at a local market, South African food is sure to delight and introduce you to the warmth and hospitality of the people.
