Saturday, March 21, 2026

President Cyril Ramaphosa has extended his well-wishes to South Africa’s Muslim community, wishing them Eid Mubarak as they celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr at the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

President Ramaphosa sent wishes to individuals, families, and communities for a joyous and reflective time of prayer, gratitude, unity, and sharing.

The President also invited the Muslim community to reflect, on Human Rights Day, on the constitutional provisions that pertain to religious and cultural practices.

“Our nation shares in this celebration of Eid, in the spirit of goodwill and appreciation of our diversity. For most Muslims, this is a time of faith, family, festivity and bringing joy to less fortunate members of our communities.

“Sadly, this is not the case for all Muslims around the world, as some are engulfed in devastating conflict and unending wars. May the spirit of Ramadaan and Eid prevail and bring peace, security and a hopeful future for all of humanity,” President Ramaphosa said on Saturday. -SAnews.gov.za
