Our former and current Deputy President Kgalema Motlante addressed the people in Limpopo and declared the theme for this year's Heritage day as "Celebrating South African Craft, Our Heritage" and finally qouted one of Don Mattera's poem:
"Afrika, Afrique
Beautiful mother, beloved Continent,
This is your time, your moment, your century
Etched on the golden scroll of history
Afrika, this is your time,
Your century, your right
Afrikaans arises, unite!
You are the architects of your fate
The victims of self-hate;
Bring enlightment, renewal and dignity
No more "sorrow songs' but anthems of victory
Astound, confound with unconquerable might,"
Beautiful mother, beloved Continent,
This is your time, your moment, your century
Etched on the golden scroll of history
Afrika, this is your time,
Your century, your right
Afrikaans arises, unite!
You are the architects of your fate
The victims of self-hate;
Bring enlightment, renewal and dignity
No more "sorrow songs' but anthems of victory
Astound, confound with unconquerable might,"
This will surely remind us that, as we celebrate all our achievements in human activities, let us do so knowing that craft, as art, it is basically for human history and it is precious as the air we breathe.
