    "No nation will stand without its culture and traditions," said Vuyo Booi, at the Sakhuluntu Cultural Group's Heritage Day youth festival at the Extension 9 Hall on Saturday.

    "No nation will stand without its culture and traditions," said Vuyo Booi, at the Sakhuluntu Cultural Group's Heritage Day youth festival at the Extension 9 Hall on Saturday.

    The event was well attended by local music groups, traditional dancers, parents, Rhodes University Community Engagement students, Sakhuluntu Cultural group members, and performers from Trappes Valley, Hamburg and Mgababa. Before the competition started, Booi, Sakhuluntu's founder, said, "We all have the responsibility of transferring cultures to another generation. We have to share what we know about culture with children."

    Teaching children about culture helped them understand who they were, he said. Thandazile Madinda, Makana Art Council's chairperson, said Heritage Day was also about acknowledging African dignity. The high-energy Sakhuluntu Sophiatown dances started off the day's performances. All the participants were given prizes afterwards.

    The Sakhuluntu youth festival is an annual event that features songs, poetry, drama, puppetry, live bands, traditional and gumboot dancing, art and crafts, and variety of musical performances including hip hop, kwaito and marimba.
