"Cape Town is a city of brilliant lights and even brighter people," Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said, reinforcing the resilient and optimistic spirit that forms the foundation of the city's 'People of Hope'.
"We have the opportunity to unite, recognise the year that has passed, and celebrate the future at the Festive Lights Switch-On.
