On behalf of the Presidency please allow me to extend my best wishes to all South African Muslims who today have begun fasting for the month of Ramadaan. This is a month in which all South African Muslims, and Muslims around the world seek to draw closer to Allah by fasting, reciting the Quran, reflecting on its meaning and increasing acts of kindness and sharing. From everyone in the Presidency to all Muslims in South Africa and around the world we say: Ramadaan Mubarak.
