President Jacob Zuma has wished all Muslims in South Africa and across the world a blessed Eid Mubarak.
The United Ulama Council of South Africa (UUCSA) confirmed that the crescent for the Islamic month of Shawwal was sighted in various parts of the country this evening signaling the end of Ramadan.
Muslims across South Africa are expected to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr tomorrow.
Zuma said: “As the month-long fast of Ramadan draws to an end and our Muslim compatriots await joyously for this day of Eid, where they will engage in prayer and expression of gratitude to the almighty for all blessings, I take this opportunity, on behalf of government and the people of South Africa, of wishing all Muslims Eid Mubarak.”
