“…For the purposes of this study, three cultural villages were selected, firstly on account of their representation of the three types of villages distinguished by Van Veuren (2004) -Lesedi Cultural Village in the Northwest Province and two from the Limpopo Province of South Africa, namely Thomo Living Cultural Heritage Museum and Tsonga Kraal Open-Air Museum, secondly because of the lead author's familiarity with and access, crucial for this kind of anthropological research (Hammersley & Atkinson 1983;van der Waal 2009), to the villages and the actors who were from the adjacent rural settlements.…”

Based on a(n) (interrupted) period of 15 years of fieldwork, this study explores the question whether cultural villages in South Africa are to be considered an effective way to conserve a particular cultural heritage in an authentic way. In order to answer this question, three notions of authenticity are juxtaposed with three types of cultural villages. The outcomes reveal a nuanced answer that suggests that some types of cultural villages do contribute to the conservation of an authentic cultural heritage, but not all. The research also shows how cultural heritage tourism is often haunted and influenced by old colonial stereotypes and exoticism.

In South Africa the religious sector, through its leadership, has in the past and can sill make a signiicant contribuion to the transformaion agenda, paricularly by fostering leadership relaionships across ethnic, cultural and socio-economic divides (bridging and linking social capital). Ethnographic empirical research into the leadership narraives of the Vlotenburg Uniing Reformed Church in Southern Africa, Stellenbosch, showed how the leadership in this congregaion moved through diferent leadership paradigms in a relaively short ime. An invesigaion using diferent theoreical frames was undertaken in an atempt to understand the impact that socio-cultural changes had on the funcioning of the leadership in the congregaion. The research also invesigated the transformaive inluence the leadership had on the embodied ecclesiology of this congregaion in a lowincome socio-economic environment. Some suggesions are made on how the local leadership can cross cultural and socio-economic divides and contribute to South Africa's transformaion agenda.
