The Ekhaya Programme at the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics was more than just a celebration of South African culture—it was a testament to the power of sport, arts, and culture to unite people across borders. Over the course of 47 days, Ekhaya became a home away from home for our athletes, dignitaries, and visitors, offering a space where South African heritage could be proudly displayed on the global stage.

This coffee table book is a reflection on the achievements, collaborations, and unforgettable moments that shaped the Ekhaya experience. From powerful performances by South Africa’s top artists, to the impactful Business to Business Forums, and the joyful Braai Days where sport and community intertwined, this report captures the heart and spirit of Ekhaya 2024. We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone involved, from the athletes who carried our flag high, to the partners, sponsors, and teams who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. The success of Ekhaya is a
testament to their hard work and commitment. Through these pages, we hope to share not only the memories but also the legacy of Ekhaya—a reminder of South Africa’s resilience, unity, and global presence.

We invite you to explore these moments, relive the highlights, and celebrate the collective efforts that made Ekhaya 2024 a landmark event.
