The Oudtshoorn celebration highlighted living heritage and the strengthening of ties binding South Africans.

Ramaphosa called violence against women a national shame after nine women were found dead in Ekurhuleni.

He said he would address the nation in coming days on government GBV measures and the investigation into the women’s deaths.

He said freedom is experienced unequally in South Africa across wealth, safety, basic services and opportunities.

The abuse, rape and killing of women is not our heritage. There is no culture worthy of the name that diminishes the dignity of women. The women of South Africa have the right to walk the streets of their country at any hour without fear.
— President Cyril Ramaphosa; Heritage Day address condemning gender-based violence (in response to violence against women and the Ekurhuleni killings).
