We appreciate the recognition for our hard work in promoting local heritage in our community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omar said the society was established in September 2018 to collate and preserve the heritage and history of the Salt River community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe started off with a history timeline where people could record their histories on the timeline. It spans various eras from preoccupation in the 1600s to 1994.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says through this information they created community art murals to depict this rich history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe use art to memorialise the heritage and the history of the people of Salt River.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omar calls on other communities to follow suit and document their stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOtherwise, they get lost, and it is important for us to capture this, because they are not highlighted in textbooks. When the youth find these stories, they can relate to it and be proud because it is history from their community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday 30 September the society unveiled murals paying homage to influential people who grew up in the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe unveiled the freedom fighter\u2019s murals which acknowledge four remarkable freedom fighters, Gadija Isaacs (trade unionist at Rex Trueform), Soraya Abbas, founder of Molo Songololo, Karima Brown (apartheid activist and journalist) and Gladys Thomas (author). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<span>The Black Christ<\/span>, by an artist named Ronald Harrison, was also unveiled. He painted <span>The Black Christ<\/span> in response to the Sharpeville Massacre.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omar says residents and people who want to join the society are welcome as they still have various projects ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The evening was hosted by two masters of ceremonies, Ayanda Dlamini and Jabaar Mohamed, while the guests were entertained throughout the evening with performances by the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, Nobulumko Mngxekeza, Chene Hugo, Zinzi Nogavu, Dance for all, Zip Zap Circus, Koleka Phutuma and Rieldansers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marais emphasized the importance of all the categories in which the winners were announced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe awards showcase the wide range of cultural activities which the Western Cape is involved with, and which we support very passionately. We honour those who have left a lasting legacy and have helped us grow all these important arts and culture activities in our province,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carol van Wyk, Chief Director for Cultural Affairs, thanked everyone who supported the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat you have seen is a beacon of hope for communities across our province. Please continue to help us shine this light.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Salt River Heritage Society was recognised for its contribution to the Promotion of Local
