Hi Thuli – Heritage Day here in KZN is all about getting out and about – it’s a day when neighbours pop their heads over fences and have a chat while the fire burns down – It’s a day when everyone is smiling and happy – proud to be South Africans and proud of our friendly attitude to life! I love being a South African xxxx
