The University of Cape Town (UCT) continues to celebrate the multicultural essence of South Africa by fostering conversations that bridge languages and traditions.

In honour of Heritage Month, UCT students highlight how everyday language and phrases carry deep meanings, evoking shared experiences, humour, and unity. From popular expressions like ‘Amandla’ and ‘Aibo’ to local translations of the versatile ‘Now, now’, UCT embraces the power of language to connect us all during this Heritage Month.
