S
enwes was once again proud to
be a name sponsor of the annu-
al NWK Agri Securitas Senwes
Golf Day, which was held at the
picturesque Pecanwood Golf Estate near
Hartebeespoort Dam on 25 October 2018.
Senwes Credit’s Head of Agri-Finance,
Francois de Kock, who was a member of
the Senwes team on the day, said security
in agriculture was vital: “Agri-security is
critical for our business - we all need to
support security in agriculture. The pro-
ducers are the cornerstone of the econo
my and they provide food security for the
nation. If they are not safe and cannot
produce, we all suffer.”
AgriSecuritas Chairman, Japie Grobler,
echoed Francois's comments at the eve-
ning function. “There is crime all over the
country. However, the brutal violence
that accompanies farm crime makes
it different and it is unacceptable. The
cost of crime in 2017 alone equated to
R7,7 billion in lost revenue. It is one thing
to condemn crime, but you have to do
something about it also, and all of you
at this event have contributed to doing
something.”
“I wish to send a heartfelt thank you to
the Senwes CEO and board of directors
for their support,” said Japie.
