The Garden Route District Municipality (GRDM) Council recently adopted a new slogan that reflects the municipality’s vision of becoming the leading, enabling, and inclusive district, characterised by equitable and sustainable development, high quality of life, and equal opportunities for all. The new slogan, “Your Route to Prosperity,” captures the essence of GRDM’s commitment to creating a prosperous and thriving community.

The slogan was developed in three languages of the Western Cape, which are expressed as follows:

“Jou roete na vooruitgang” (Afrikaans)

“Indlela yakho eya empumelelweni” (Xhosa)

“Your route to prosperity” (English)

The new slogan symbolises the pathway the GRDM is trying to create for all Garden Routers to have equal access to opportunities that lead to personal growth and a prosperous future.
