It is the culmination of Heritage Month, which this year carried the theme “Celebrating our Dance, our Heritage.” Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, who announced her resignation this week, will deliver a keynote address today at the national celebrations at Maropeng at the Cradle of Humankind in Gauteng.
