President Cyril Ramaphosa has wished South Africa’s Christian community well for the Easter weekend.
He urged citizens to embrace hope, unity and compassion during the sacred period.
“For South Africa’s diverse Christian denominations and for Christians around the world, the Resurrection of Christ serves as a powerful call to personal renewal; and is an integral part of faith.
“This timeless message of retaining hope amidst uncertainty resonates with us all,” he said.
The President is set to join congregants from the Zion Christian Church at their annual Easter celebrations in Moria, Limpopo, one of the country’s largest religious gatherings.
Reflecting on the significance of the holiday, he added: “The Easter weekend was a welcome break and a time for reconnecting with family and friends.
“No matter where we may be this weekend, let us take to heart the Easter message by observing ubuntu, empathy and tolerance – in our communities, in social gatherings, on the roads and above all, in our homes.”
