Peace, harmony, unity
Premier, Chupu Stanley Mathabatha, extends his warmest Easter greetings to all residents of Limpopo and everyone visiting our beautiful province during this special long weekend of worship, prayer and reunions.
LIMPOPO – “The Easter weekend is an important festival in the lives of our Christian community which celebrates the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter therefore signifies hope, renewal and eternity.
During this period, our province receives millions of worshippers from across the country, the region and beyond. We are home to the busiest and largest gatherings in Africa and we are privileged that Limpopo is such a renowned destination for praise and worship. As a provincial government, we call on the people of the province to use this time of spiritual upliftment to recommit themselves to the principles of love, peace, and justice,” Mathabatha urged.
He added this is the time to reignite the spark of the spirit of common brotherhood, and encouraged people to always remember that one does not need to be rich in order to show generosity and compassion. “We should be guided by the judicious words from the Book of Proverbs 3 verse 28 which says to us we should never say to our neighbours or brothers that ‘Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you’, when you already have it with you. Let us pray for peace, harmony, unity and prosperity in our province. Let us pray for an end to diseases, poverty and unemployment.
“To ensure safety for everyone, particularly on our roads, we reiterate our call to all road users to observe the rules of the road, these include observing a safe following distance, being patient, observing the speed limit and not driving under the influence of alcohol. We have called on all our law enforcement agencies to show no mercy to any road rules infringements. Most importantly, don’t drink and drive, buckle up and arrive alive,” Mathabatha said.
