FUNDING FOR HERITAGE PROJECTS – closing 30 August 2024

The National Heritage Council makes funding available to community initiatives that would ordinarily not have access loans from financial institutions. The funding is mainly to assist in starting and establishing a project that can in future have prospects of sustaining itself or attracting alternative funding from other donors. 

Projects that have received funding would benefit more than just financial assistance from the NHC. The project leaders and participants would have exposure to formal project management skills, administration, reporting and accountability. The NHC believes that the skills in these various areas equip the projects with excellence and improved prospects to attract more funding and support.

Celebrating 30 Year of Riddims and Resistance

 Celebrating International Reggae Day 2024 in South Africa, 2024

South Africa is celebrating International Reggae Day 2024 today on Monday 1 July.

International Reggae Day was inspired during a state visit to Jamaica in July 1991 of Nelson and Winnie Mandela. Winnie Mandela addressed a gathering of Jamaican women hosted by then Minister Portia Simpson, and spoke of the POWER of Reggae music to motivate the people of South Africa in their fight against Apartheid. 

 

The need to recognize, celebrate, harness and market this POWER, by and for Jamaica, inspired the birth of Reggae day in 1994. The arrival of the internet thereafter enabled the expansion of the celebration’s focus and outreach to International Reggae Day by 2000.
