Honourable Deputy Speaker, our collective history as the people, our heritage and culture has kept our nation immortalized. As we emerge from the tentacles of racial stereotyping, we remained unoblivious of the great strides we had to undertake to dismantle the old order together with its remnants.
We had to define our heritage, our collective pride and patriotism. We started renaming our national monuments, our streets, our buildings and tasking the National Heritage Resource Agency to identify areas of historical and cultural significance and to classify them as such.
Our catchment management areas, our botanical gardens and national resources reflect the heritage endowed to us by our grandmothers.
