Festive greetings from the GTM mayor
It is a time to relax after a long year and equally to show love and compassion to fellow human beings.
BURGERSFORT – It is that time of the year again when families come together to celebrate the festive season. It is a time to relax after a long year and equally to show love and compassion to fellow human beings. It is also time to show our spirit of ubuntu by helping those who cannot help themselves.
The only present we can give is to look after ourselves and not be taken by the festive mood. Let us spent our hard-earned money wisely not forgetting the commitments that we must carry through in the new year.
It is also the time where we are faced with road fatalities that claim the lives of our loved ones. We cannot just fold our arms when our roads are becoming death fields. We should all preach the golden rule: “Don`t drink and drive” to every road user.
Everyone should be safe on the road and it is our responsibility to do so. We should declare this festive season to be an accident-free period and respect the lives of others.
We are holding our breath that when matric results are announced, they will surpass the pass rate of the previous year.
Government has prioritised education and it is our wish to see our young people embracing that and use every opportunity present to be equipped with skills. On behalf of the Greater Tubatse Municipality I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2015.
