ON THE COVER PAGE
WHAT A YEAR 2016 has been for
the newly established trademark of
Senwes Equipment! With prize upon
prize they really created a Christmas
spirit.
On the front page we have Gert
(Gerlu) Roos from Wonderfontein,
who won the second leg of the WIN
BIG with Senwes Equipment and
John Deere competition in November. In the process he won a John
Deere Gator 855D to the value of
R230 000, a wonderful gift, just in
time for Christmas. Read more about
this winner on page 46.
In turn, Amanda Haasbroek won a
R10 000 John Deere clothing voucher
in the first leg. Charl Fourie won the
R80 000 Mauritius holiday in the third
leg and he will be enjoying this trip
during the holiday period with his
wife, Raisa. Christmas is in the air!
