Statement by the Executive Mayor, Alderman Dan Plato

City of Cape Town Executive Mayor, Dan Plato, on behalf of the City, wishes all Jewish residents Shana Tova Umetukah .

As 2021 sees the continued impact of the global coronavirus pandemic in our daily lives, it is my hope, that as the coronavirus vaccination drive picks up, that the next year will be a better one for all.

As we enjoy the new beginnings that come with the start of a new year, let us also take the time to reflect on the good in our lives, our achievements, and be grateful for the family and friends that surround and support us. At the same time, it is important, especially under these trying times, that we continue to think about how we can all play a part to help those in need.

Please remember to enjoy any celebrations responsibly so that we can continue to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

To all our Jewish residents, I want to say Shanah Tova Umetuka.
