he annual Switching on of the Christmas Lights, an event that has been on the calendar for five years, is going ahead this year, albeit virtually and with lockdown regulations in place. The event which takes place on Saturday 5 December is held each year at the Bothasig police station. This is when Christmas lights of all colours adorn the police station’s outside building, driveway and garden. The event, a highlight for many, attracts a lot of visitors yearly. This year however, slight changes had to be made as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, says WO Jacques Mostert, police spokesperson. “This year there will be no market or gathering of people at the police station, but on Saturday 5 December the lights will be switched on as per every year. The difference is that this year people will be able to virtually attend via Facebook at 20:00,” says Mostert. At last year’s event tribute was paid to former One FM 94.0 presenter and founder of the radio station, Ian Ward. Ward passed away in 2019 due to cancer. The radio station has been broadcasting live at the event since the start. Stacey Robertson, station manager, says she is truly sad that it is not taking place as per usual this year, as it is a highlight for the radio station. “We look forward to the event every single year and from the bottom of our hearts, we want to say thank you for dedicating last year to the late Ian Ward. “We will definitely miss this event this year,” Robertson says. She says the Switching on of the Christmas Lights is an event that brings the whole community together. Following a discussion between the local police and the executive of the Bothasig Community Policing Forum (CPF), it was decided however that this year it will go ahead in a totally new way. According to Dave Morley, CPF-chairperson, it was decided to still go ahead in order to give the community something positive to
