Thousands of people turned up daily to witness the knockout stages being played at Erica Park in Belhar, while at the Athlone stadium 6000 pitched for the finals on Monday alone.
“This truly is a wonderful example of how organised sporting events can bring out the best in players, but also those cheering from the sidelines.
“The atmosphere was absolutely electric, and it is clear to see why this tournament holds such prestige.
“I want to thank each and every one who came out to play, their supporters and also the event organisers for the show they put on. We look forward to seeing you all again next year,” said the City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health,” Francine Higham. Source: City of Cape Town, Media Office
Good response to Easter safety campaign
Success on the roads
GOOD and positively.
This is how the public responded to the Easter Season Road Safety Campaign, according to the government.
While accident statistics for the Easter Season are still undergoing quality assurance and verification, Minister of Transport, Barbara Creecy, says early indications are showing a significant decrease in fatalities and crashes in all provinces, with the exception of Mpumalanga.
Providing an update for the 2025 Easter Season Road Safety Arrive Alive campaign on Sunday, the Minister said the public has responded positively to the campaign.
She also commended traffic law enforcement officers their dedication.
” We are confident that our actions are saving lives on our roads,” the Minister said.
The Easter Season Road Safety Arrive Alive campaign was launched on 20 March, under the theme – It begins with Me – and runs until 2 May 2025
The campaign is aimed at reducing road fatalities during the high-traffic holiday period through integrated law enforcement and public education. – SAnews.gov.za
