As we approach the end of the year 2019, the Office of the Chief Whip in Parliament takes this opportunity to wish all people of South Africa a wonderful and safe Festive Season.

As South Africans, we have faced a number of challenges and also claimed victories during the course of the year. We also remember those we have lost this year whose memories we will cherish in our hearts.

As we begin the festive season, we hope that all South Africans that will be travelling on the roads will be vigilant and drive safely to avoid road carnage.

This is a time for giving to the needy, let us all lend a hand in ensuring that all South Africans equally enjoy this festive. All of us must spend quality time with our families and communities in order to build a cohesive society. Let us all be united foot soldiers in fighting against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide, crime and substance abuse.

We wish to thank South Africans for entrusting the ANC with the task of making South Africa better. We thank all our MPs for their hard work and dedication during this year. We also thank our staff for their unwavering support and commitment in helping to advance the work of the ANC in Parliament.

We hope that this festive period will provide the opportunity for all to reflect on the year that was and start the New Year fully rejuvenated.

The Office of the Chief Whip wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Issued by the ANC Chief Whip Comrade Pemmy Majodina
