Political parties and ministers have expressed their good Christmas wishes, but have taken the opportunity to urge South Africans to celebrate cautiously and prevent the spread of Covid-19.
South Africa’s third largest party spokeswoman Delisile Ngwenya said in a statement: “The fighters for economic freedom wish all Africans in the country, the continent and the diaspora a revolutionary Christmas and a prosperous New Year.”
“In the midst of the global pandemic, we urge all members of society to stay safe and practice kindness, empathy, and consideration for all those around us during a festive season marred by loss and sadness.” .
Cope spokesman Dennis Bloem said the joy and happiness were snatched away by a fierce enemy called Covid-19.
“Those of us who are still lucky enough to see the next day must cherish these special moments with our loved ones,” Bloem said.
Meanwhile, the district attorney said just because people were separated or spent the season alone didn’t mean they couldn’t share in the festive spirit of Christmas.
ANC Secretary General Ace Magashule also sent good wishes to South Africans.
Health Minister Zweli Mkhize and Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula advised people to practice good hygiene and celebrate safely.
