eng	The Changing Role of British Cultural Tradition in South Africa	The aim of the paper is to exlore the impact the British culture has had on the ongoing process of forming unified South African culture. After the demise of apartheid new South African establishment has come up with an idea of the synthesis of cultural development which would overcome the legacy of the apartheid regime that defined distinct cultures as exclusive enclaves. This ambitious state orchestrated cultural project strives to embrace all the cultural constituents in the country. In the rich South African culture mosaic the issue of ?culture? may serve either as a vehicle for integration, or may help to replace the former apartheid inequity with a new one disguised in modern culturalist rhetoric.	British tradition, culture, South Africa
