Paper produced by the ANC Department of Arts and Culture from an in-house seminar on Constitutional guidelines for a democratic South Africa, held in Lusaka, Zambia. Argues that the formation of constitutional guidelines requires a definition of cultural activity which embraces inherited knowledge, attitudes and values and intellectual and artistic enterprise and production. Examines how to preserve and protect cultural heritage, how to foster cultural endeavours, how to realise cultural and artistic freedom, culture and nation building, and culture in social and economic re-construction.
