Christmas Message from the Hon. Mayor
As we approach the end of another year, I want to take a moment to usher in the festive season ahead. For many of us, the holidays are a time when we gather together with our loved ones and celebrate the joys of life. It is a time of year where we reminisce on the days and months gone by, a time of year where we look back on the things that we are most thankful for.
During this time of joy and festivities, we must also remember those who are less fortunate and may not have the privilege to celebrate in the way that we are able to. Let us invoke the spirit of the season we are celebrating, open our hearts and share the festive cheer by lending a helping hand to those who need it the most and in any way that we can. I would like to encourage all our citizens to take this moment to try and effect positive change and impact in any way within our communities and our surrounding areas. Let’s spread the festive spirit and cheer wherever we can.
As the Executive Mayor of Dikgatlong Local Municipality, I would like to extend a hearty welcome to each and every visitor to our beautiful area. While I encourage you to explore everything that our city has to offer, I would also like to implore our visitors and residence to adhere to the protocols that we have put in place to ensure the safety of all our frequenters. Be safe on our roads, at our town guesthouses swimming pools and have the most enjoyable time with your friends and loved ones. Season’s greetings to you all!
