Mitchell’s Plain residents embraced their South Africanness by taking to their streets to heed the call by President Cyril Ramaphosa to join the global Jerusalema dance challenge on Heritage Day, which was observed last Thursday September 24. During his announcement of the relaxing of the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions to level 1, on Wednesday September 16, he said: “I urge everyone to use this public holiday as family time, to reflect on the difficult journey we have all travelled, to remember those who have lost their lives, and to quietly rejoice in the remarkable and diverse heritage of our nation,” he said.
