<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nResidents and businesses have been invited to light up their homes and premises for the festive season. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere is nothing like Christmas trees, lights and decorations to create a festive vibe,\u201d said Kouga Executive Mayor, Horatio Hendricks. <\/p>\n
\u201cWith the Covid-19 pandemic threatening to put a damper on celebrations this holiday, we would like to encourage all residents and businesses to brighten up their premises this festive season with lights, Christmas trees and decorations. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis will go a long way towards ensuring that the Christmas spirit shines brightly across our region despite the challenges we face.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201cLight Up Kouga\u201d campaign is a joint initiative of Kouga Municipality, the Kouga Business Forum and Kouga Local Tourism Organisation. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the second year we are running the campaign and we look forward to welcoming even more residents and businesses on board,\u201d Hendricks said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe also plan on running Christmas light tours, with Jeffreys Bay\u2019s popular tuk-tuks. These tours were much in demand last year and are a safe activity for families to enjoy together.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said only those homes and businesses that consented to be part of the tour would form part of the official route.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis means you can decorate your premises even if you do not want to be part of the route. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we would, ultimately, like to achieve is a genuine sense of Christmas across our suburbs and towns.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the municipality would be putting up Christmas trees at its buildings and lights along the Jeffreys Bay beachfront and Humansdorp CBD area. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe had hoped to put up lights in our Gamtoos Valley towns as well, but the municipality is not the electricity provider in this area and we have been unable to obtain the necessary permission.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will, however, be decorating our premises in these towns.\u201d<\/p>\n
Home and business owners who would like their premises to be included on the tuk-tuk tours are asked to contact Leilani Coetsee from the Kouga Business Forum at leilanicoetsee19@gmail.com by Thursday, December 10. <\/p>\n
It is anticipated the tours will run from December 17 to 31. <\/p>\n
