President Ramaphosa Extends Eid-ul-fitr Wishes To Muslims

President Cyril Ramaphosa has wished the Muslim community well as they prepare to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr , marking the end of the fasting month of Ramadaan.

Muslims across the country are celebrating following last night's sighting of the new moon in South Africa. The announcement was made in Cape Town to hundreds of worshipers gathered for the occasion.

President Ramaphosa says, This year Eid-ul-Fitr is being observed during Human Rights Month - when we pay tribute to our constitutional order that guarantees rights and freedoms for all, including religious freedom.

As we wish our Muslim compatriots well on this auspicious occasion, let us continue to be guided by the common values that unite us all, such as generosity, compassion and empathy, adds Ramaposa.

Eid-Ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, a sacred month of fasting, prayer, and reflection. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, dedicating themselves to spiritual growth and self-discipline.
