Historical Anniversariesam pleased to bring to you the 2012 Commemoration of Significant Historical Anniversaries booklet that chronicles our historical anniversaries. Perhaps, it is apposite to first make the point as to the importance of History in contemporary South Africa. Among one of the great leaders in our continent is Sir Seretse Kgama, the first President of Botswana who agitated for codification and reverence of a nation s past. He is often quoted to have said a nation without a past is a lost nation and a people without a past is a people without a soul . That is, to have a past, to know about that past and celebrate it completes us in some way as humans. Celebrating and commemorating our past is one way of building collective memory and consciousness and thus build social cohesion.
