Coloured culture is our food. Fish and chips, Potjiekos, pap en wors, vetkoek, curry, paptert etc. We are MULTIcultural so our food is varied and diverse. Coloured culture is stokies, rollers and our music- Dr Victor, The Rockets, Kaapse Klopse etc.

Coloured culture is throwing huge celebrations for Matric Dance’s, Baptism’s, Confirmation’s, Wedding’s, and 21st’s. Within each of these celebrations, aspects from our ancestry are drawn on and merged.

Coloured culture is coloureds. Our existence is our culture. Our accents, hair, food, celebrations and music make us who we are and form our culture.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” model for coloured culture. It’s what we make it.

Personally, I don’t think it can be appropriated BUT it hasn’t been respected by non-coloured people for a while now.
