Intercultural Food Tasting Event 31 July 2004 Radio Khwezi was invited to an extremely interesting event on Saturday 31 July 2004. A stout effort in bringing the different cultures of South Africa together was made by the ATKV (Afrikaans Taal en Kultuur Vereen) in conjunction with the Department of Arts, Culture and Tourism. Twenty different cultural groups decorated stalls depicting their particular traditions and customs and the coordinators were dressed accordingly. Everyone was then invited to give their taste buds a chance to experiment with the different types of traditional food on offer. The experience was enjoyed by all! The Minister of Arts, Culture and Tourism in Kwazulu Natal, Mr Narend Singh attended the function and praised the organisers for bringing people of different cultures together in an effort to help them to get to know and understand each other in the country which we all share.
