This year, the splashy fen celebrates its 28^th anniversary, from its tottering steps as part of a local festival, over the years it has matured into a multi-faceted showcase of local, national and international entertainment acts. We welcome all the visitors who will be coming to our shores, we say enjoy your stay and have fun with your loved ones.

One must not forget that the journey to democracy was not easy, the year 2017 presents an opportunity for the people of South Africa, hence extending the invite to the rest of the world to join in celebrating the South African miracle story, a realisation of a rainbow nation. I can proudly express that we are indeed a country that is better off since our first democratic elections and the country has abandoned its shameful past and has steadily moved towards building a new culture based on respect of human rights and dignity. Together we can still do more, as the municipality we strive to put our people first.

I would like to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful and blessed Easter holidays, drive safely and arrive alive.
