By Nicolene Schoeman – Louw

As the end of the year approaches, it’s time to take stock and re-evaluate. We express our sincere gratitude for the support from all our clients, suppliers and stakeholders. It’s time to be thankful for the blessings of the year and re-strategize for the coming year.

We will close for the festive season on 20 December?2022 at 11:00 and reopen on 4 January 2023 at 08:30.

May the coming year meet you and your loved ones in peace.

As we engage in the Christmas and New Year celebrations, may we remember the truly important things.

May we remember to love our neighbours and share of our blessings with the less privileged.

May the joy of the season fill our lives and homes.
