Although it was a very hot day, the turnout of the heritage day celebration at University of Limpopo Turfloop Campus was of Success yesterday. the 'Mucheka, Nwenda,Shibelani, Khiba was all amalgated. These traditional regalias were making the day more traditional and unusual to the the new generation that have attended the event.The hall was full to its capacity, which made other attendents to be standing out side the hall wating for space. The University of Limpopo always celebrate the heritage day, in its Tiro Hall where the local residents intertwine with the students for celebration.
The events like these should always be celebrated, to help the young ones to know about the African culture and their origions. Gone are those days where, our grand parents sit with us by the fire narrating stories and making "thai's" which helped in making us realise that African culture does exisit and reviving it. may be that is the reason, there is so much crime, high infection to young people.The degenaretion of children has to do with the moral and values of the people. Gone are those days when "African principles" are excecised. knowadays evrey one minds his or her own bussiness, the principle of "Nwana wa Munwe ndi wau" meaning "My child is your child, your child is me" has faded away.
Thanks that we still have this day "24 september", to shappen and revive the African culture that is being destroyed by the western culture.
