Security Officers of the Month

he 24/7 Security Officers, Brian Netshikweta, Godfrey
Lesailane and Jonathan Manyama who man the K56
trailer park at Phase 1 and 2 have been selected as
Tthe officers of the month. These officers always have
friendly smiles on their faces. They are extremely helpful and
never have an issue running between the gates to let the dog
walkers in and out.

Officers Godfrey and Brian went out of their way to make a plan
to fix the washed-away road in K56 Phase 2 by placing bricks and
paving into the gully, so cars were able to drive in.

These officers deserve to be recognised by the residents who are
grateful and impressed by these officers' dedication to their duties. Brian Netshikweta Godfrey Lesailane Jonathan Manyama
