    The Department of Correctional Services celebrated Heritage Day by highlighting some of the different cultures and traditions that form South Africa's rainbow nation.

    The Department of Correctional Services celebrated Heritage Day by highlighting some of the different cultures and traditions that form South Africa's rainbow nation.

    Tuesday's event, organised by the Department's Amathole Management area, was hosted at the Waainek Correctional Centre in Grahamstown.

    The Amathole Management Area is made up of five correctional centres and five community corrections offices.

    King Williamstown, Middledrift, Grahamstown, Stutterheim and Fort Beaufort were all there.

    Each area represented a different ethnic group and cooked that group's traditional food and performed their traditional songs and dances.

    The Area Commissioner’s office represented white people, Middledrift Centre represented Xhosa people, Fort Beaufort Centre represented Tswana people, Stutterheim Centre represented Indian people, Grahamstown Centre represented coloured people and King Williamstown represented Zulu people.

    An adjudication team decided who had come up with the best food, dance, presentation and exhibition.

    Middledrift were announced as the overall winners at the end of the proceedings.

    The guests were welcomed by the head of the centre, Nowakhe Panda.
