Level 1 lockdown came just in time for South Africans to celebrate our many different bright and colourful heritages in true style with a braai in the backyard with friends and family.

To be safe, ensure your health and to comply with government regulations, consider these three ways in which you can successfully celebrate Heritage Day on Thursday, 24 September from home:

– Immerse yourself in the virtual world of arts and culture. From the comfort of your own computer or smartphone, view 30 South African collections as well as several hundred stories, 36 museums and more than 20 000 images examining aspects of South African history and culture.

– Do some family research and learn about your heritage. Google Maps can help you research places in you and your family’s history. From small towns to historical sites and attractions, Google Maps has them listed, reviewed and photographed – just waiting for you to experience.

– Pump up the beat in true South African style with YouTube Music’s South African music charts. Check out the Top 100 South African songs for the week, or for a visual experience dive into the Top 100 South African Music Videos.
