Law enforcement officers march to form a guard of honour.
âEver since we received the first tiding of a Covid-19 passing within our municipality, we had to accept the words of Nicholas Sparks who said: âIt is possible to go on. How impossible it may seem.ââ
With these words, Executive Mayor Gesie van Deventer started her remembrance of the two councillors and six officials who have died from Covid-19 since the first cases were identified early last year. They are: Councillors Derrick Hendrickse and Manie Pietersen, Kwanele Gugushe, Nnozigagana Kondile, Thandiwe Metshane, Christopher Nyangiwe, Bradley Frank Dyers and Ndawoyakhe Yalezo.
