of the community in which
they function. They excelled in
agri-related areas and co-operat
ed excellently with stakeholders
such as the SAPS, municipalities,
agri-businesses and government
departments. They are also
involved with projects outside the
agri-sector, such as schools, the
elderly, welfare, shows and emerg
ing producers.
Senwes is proud to have been
part of the Free State Agiculture
Annual Congress evening func
tion for so many years and wishes
to congratulate all the winners.
You really are pillars of strength in
the agri-sector!
