✨ Happy Heritage Day, Mzansi! ✨
Today we celebrate Ubuntu, culture, and connection — the heartbeat of our South African heritage.
We’re also celebrating the Heritage of Occupational Therapy in South Africa during OT week!
🌿 80 years of excellence in South Africa,
🌿 A legacy of impact,
🌿 And a profession dedicated to creating meaning, purpose, and quality of life for all.
As part of OTASA’s 80th Anniversary, past presidents reminded us of the collective leadership that has shaped occupational therapy in South Africa — its evolution from modest beginnings to today’s legacy of excellence and impact. Their reflections about where we’ve come from, where we’re going, and the voices that carried us forward, align perfectly with our OT Week theme: ‘80 Years of OT in Action.’
As you gather for a braai 🔥, share stories, or enjoy time with loved ones, we invite you to reflect:
💭 What part of OT’s heritage are YOU most proud of?
💭 How are you carrying that legacy into the future?
Let’s honour our roots 🌿, celebrate our growth 🌟, and keep building OT’s legacy together.
