South Africa\u2019s incredible wildlife is central to its heritage, which is why Crocworld Conservation Centre on the KZN South Coast is the perfect spot to celebrate Heritage Day on Wednesday, 24 September! Visitors are encouraged to come in traditional attire that reflects their heritage, with great specials and live music by saxophonist Jerry Kunene from 12pm to 2pm.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s quite fitting that Heritage Day falls within Tourism Month because South Africa\u2019s natural heritage is such an important part of its tourism offerings,\u201d commented Susan Badat Crocworld Centre Manager. \u201cThere\u2019s no better place to celebrate South Africa\u2019s heritage than among our wildlife in the beautiful coastal forest setting of Crocworld. Alongside the live music and meal specials, visitors can stop by our Barnyard section to visit our springtime baby goats and give some welcoming hugs to our baby rabbits!\u201d<\/p>\n
Heritage Day Celebrations<\/strong><\/p>\n Badat added that all visitors who dress up in traditional gear for Heritage Day will get a free slushi from the on-site Fish Eagle Caf\u00e9 and a 10% discount on all restaurant meals of R100 or more. There will also be great South African meals on offer to really bring Heritage Day to life.<\/p>\n From 12pm to 2pm, renowned local saxophonist Jerry Kunene will be entertaining the crowds with his signature sound. Boasting global experience, Jerry worked with Mbongeni Ngema on the Township Fever Musical in New York, as well as alongside the African Jazz Pioneers, the late Sipho Gumede, Brian Thusi, The Key Notes, Darius Burbeck, Jonathan Ngema, Theo Bophela, Dudley Dlamini, James Mbambo, and Clarence Khumalo.<\/p>\n Despite his background allowing for no formal musical education, Jerry\u2019s talent was unstoppable. Through a series of trial and error, he experimented with sounds whenever he found a moment to practice. Completely self-taught, Jerry has enjoyed a hugely successful career, visiting eight countries and collaborating with some of the biggest names in music.<\/p>\n On Heritage Day and building up to the school holidays, visitors can look forward to so much entertainment at Scottburgh\u2019s Crocworld:<\/strong><\/p>\n To find out more, visit www.crocworld.co.za | check out Crocworld Conservation Centre on Facebook | call 039 976 1103.<\/p>\n\n
