The phrase 'Cultural Diversity' means a range of different societies or people of different origins, religions and traditions all living and interacting together.

The food we eat, the music we listen to, and the clothes we wear have all been influenced by different cultures coming into South Africa. Ethnic food, for example, is part of an average South African diet. One of South African favourite dishes is Indian curry. South Africans have enjoyed curry for a surprisingly long time.
