Statement by the City of Cape Town Executive Mayor, Alderman Dan Plato<\/P>
As our Muslim community prepares for the month of Ramadaan which officially starts tomorrow, Tuesday 7 May 2019, in South Africa, on behalf of the City of Cape Town I would like to extend my best wishes to you all during this period of deep spirituality. As you observe this month of fasting, reflection, sacrifice and giving, I wish you strength and fulfilment. <\/P>
<\/P>
One of the characteristics of this period is to extend a hand to the less fortunate. As we head into our winter months, it’s something we can all try to do. As a caring city, we encourage all Capetonians to assist organisations who are making a difference in the lives of our vulnerable residents. <\/P>
<\/P>
We appreciate the important role that the Muslim community plays in our city, your generosity and compassion help us to achieve our commitment of building a caring city.<\/P>
<\/P>
Cape Town is a diverse mix of cultures, religions and beliefs; the rainbow nation that the late Nelson Mandela spoke and dreamed of, is a dream we still hold dear. By being united through our diversity and remembering our humanity, we can make this great city even greater. <\/P>
