Mayor’s Easter message

Thabazimbi – It is once again that time of the year, Easter, when many South Africans visit various places of worship for spiritual renewal and upliftment, while others reunite with families or take a holiday. 

Easter celebrations reflect on peace and forgiveness and provide a wonderful opportunity to bring families and friends together and even attend church services. This time is also an opportunity for many families to travel. It is also a time for thinking about hardship for those less fortunate and extend a helping hand.

It is unfortunately also during this period that as a municipality and the entire country, we experience high volumes of traffic movement as well as a heightened number of road vehicle accidents. 

We would, therefore, like to appeal to all road users to drive cautiously, take rest intervals when tired, and to not drink and drive. Drivers must also obey the rules of the road and respect other road users.

We wish to extend the same words of caution to pedestrians, to respect the rules of the road and cross the roads at provided acceptable points. Let us all travel safely and arrive alive. To those who will be going to various churches for their annual pilgrimages, we wish you to travel safe. Please obey the rules of the road and be alert at all times. 

Let us also respect the law enforcement authorities – the police and traffic officers. Their responsibility is to keep you and others safe at all times. We must all cooperate with them and make this a peaceful and safe Easter weekend.

On behalf of the Thabazimbi Local Municipality’s (TLM’s) council, we wish everyone a wonderful, happy and safe Easter weekend. May this time of renewal invigorate your spirit and strengthen your faith. Arrive Alive! 

Yours faithfully, 
Councillor Midah Moselane, TLM’s mayor
