CHARM OFFENSIVE: President Jacob Zuma greets residents who were protesting opposite a house declared a heritage site in 7th Avenue, Alexandra. Former president Nelson Mandela stayed in the house in the 50s. Zuma planted an olive tree as a symbol of peace at the house as part of celebrating Alexandra's 100 years of existence. The residents were complaining about a lack of title deeds to their houses. Photo: Tsheko Kabasia

"SA celebrates Heritage Day" yes so much has been said, money wasted, but nothing learnt. The question I am asking is did we inherit anything positive from our Four Fathers. There is no more respect, we careless about each other, we just need more power for ourselves. Walking around naked and drunk is not our heritage i guess, but if it is yours, shame on you
