    history of
    south africa
    The Union of South Africa was born in 1910,
    with five million inhabitants. In 1911, the
    Afrikaners and the British put in place the
    first laws of Apartheid, or separate
    development. Black elite resistance
    movements organized in 1912 and the African
    National Congress (ANC) took its name in
    1923. The history of South Africa is very rich
    and very complex due to the juxtaposition of
    different peoples and cultures which have
    succeeded and rubbed shoulders since
    prehistoric times. The Bushmen have been
    there for at least 25,000 years and the Bantus
    for at least 1,500 years.
    definition
    of cultural
    heritage
    Cultural heritage includes artefacts, monuments, a
    group of buildings and sites, museums that have a
    diversity of values ​including symbolic, historical,
    artistic, aesthetic, ethnological or anthropological,
    scientific and social significance. It includes tangible
    heritage (movable, immobile and underwater),
    intangible cultural heritage embedded in artefacts,
    sites or monuments of cultural and natural heritage.
    The definition excludes ICH related to other cultural
    areas such as festivals, celebrations, etc. It covers
    industrial heritage and cave paintings.
    The term is often used in connection with issues
    relating to the protection of indigenous intellectual
    property.
    to give an example :
    tangible assets such as
    visual arts, food, clothing
    and styles of architecture,
    as well as intangible
    assets such as legends,
    music and values ​such as
    generosity or respect.
    cultural heritage of
    south africa :
    Living heritage plays an important role in
    promoting cultural diversity, social
    cohesion, reconciliation, peace and
    economic development. In every
    community there are living human
    treasures who possess a high degree of
    knowledge, skills and history pertaining to
    different aspects of diverse living
    heritage.
    the tradition of south
    africa :
    Long isolated from the rest of the world,
    the African continent has cultivated a deep
    cultural heritage that translates into
    religious rituals, the practice of dance and
    music. Artistic representations are
    ubiquitous at parties or festive events.
    The ZULUS live in huts of stones and trees.
    It is the largest ethnic group in the country.
    They are mostly polygamous. Their
    traditional adornments are made from the
    skins of wild animals.
    conclusion :
    South Africa is a wonderful country
    that is rich in culture and tradition
    that makes it a one unique country
    with a history that makes her a
    jewelry in the African continent
    thank you !
