Mayor Nasiphi Moya has announced the relaunch of Tshwane’s annual New Year’s Eve festival. The first significant celebration since 2019 will be the City of Tshwane’s annual New Year’s Eve crossover festival, which was put on hold a few years ago to save money. This was the sentiment expressed by Mayor Nasiphi Moya at the launch of the festival on Friday at Fountain Valley, where the crossover bash will be hosted.
“For many years this festival was a tradition that brought our communities together. Like many things in our lives the Covid years changed that,” she said. She said the celebration is a way of honouring Tshwane residents’ spirit, acknowledging their endurance through “pressures and uncertainties”.
“Tshwane’s New Year Eve festival is a chance to rebuild a tradition and a culture that brought families, young people and visitors together in a safe and joyful environment. It is a moment to reclaim our shared spaces and to welcome the New Year with dignity, unity and love,” she said. Moya added that the much-anticipated celebration will serve as a reminder that Tshwane is a city worth visiting and worth spending time in.

“We want the residents to feel proud of their city. We want them to know that they don’t have to travel far to enjoy a meaningful holiday. Their adventure is right here at home waiting for them,” she said.
