Dit is vir my ’n besondere eer om elke inwoner van die Groter Oudtshoorn en elke toeris ’n voorspoedige en geseënde feestyd toe te wens en elke besoeker in hierdie spesiale tyd hartlik welkom te heet.
Hier ontmoet u die stilte en prag van die Klein-Karoo, waar u asem kan haal en rustigheid vind na ’n jaar lange gejaag. Mag u besoek aan ons dorp vol kosbare herinneringe wees en mag u altyd hierheen terugkeer.
Tydens hierdie feestyd nooi ek u om die warmte van ons mense, die opregte gasvryheid van ons besighede, die smaaklike geure van ons restaurante en die ryk Karoo-erfenis te ervaar.
Namens die Groter Oudtshoornmunisipaliteit wens ek u en u geliefdes ’n geseënde, veilige en vreugdevolle feestyd toe. Welkom in die Groter Oudtshoorn, die hart van die Klein-Karoo en die tuiste van natuurwonders.
Oudtshoorn-burgemeester,
Johan Allers
