· Science, Spirituality, Language and Religion. Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) Legislation framework promote the Spirit of Unity In this context South Africa recognises the core challenges that continue to threaten efforts at nation building and social cohesion, and these are: · Generation gap · Access to information · Disability issues · Gender issues · Ideological differences · Language issues · Immorality issues · Problems of Health and Education · The Impact of Globalisation The most profound of these challenges is ideological differences in relation to management of diversity. Such differences manifest themselves religiously and culturally. The differences posed by different religious and cultural denominations/institutions affect the manner in which people deal with health, economic and development issues. The use of Indigenous Knowledge Systems is a tool that helps in addressing these challenges. Diversity management also includes issues of shared values, norms and customs by society. The South African National Heritage Council is spearheading the use of national symbols and the historical experience of South Africa to build national identity. The need to include in the national heritage landscape historical monuments representative of the demography of South Africa is receiving attention by government through institutions such as the Freedom Park, Voortrekker Hoogte, Apartheid Museum and various traditional historical sites. 57
