LMN Excellence Awards held with flair
By Advice Ramonnye
The city of Rustenburg will never be the same after DCS staff from the LMN region flocked there
for its Regional Excellence Awards on 25 November 2011, held at the Civic Centre. The awards
serve as a platform where members are officially awarded for the excellent execution of their daily
duties. In a flamboyant event in which quests dressed up as a pirate along the theme of Pirates of
the Caribbean, the night was regarded as a night of stars.
Lewies Davies, Moses Nkabinde and Kosie Smit dance to the tune of Nkalakata, enjoying the music and the
celebrations after the awards presentation.
The awards were also used as a platform to bid farewell to the outgoing Acting Regional
Commissioner, Ms Nontsikelelo Jolingana and welcoming the newly appointed Regional
Commissioner, Mr Alfred Tsetsane, both of whom graced the occasion. In his speech, RC
Tsetsana said that the LMN region had acting commissioners for the last three years but finally, a
permanent RC has been appointed. His intention he said was to take the region to greater heights
to becoming the best region in the department.
There was lot of competition in this year’s award and nobody could predict the winners in any of
the categories. The SAPS band rendered music items that really got the audience into the latest
dance moves.
CDC Development and Care, Ms Nontsilekelolo Jolingana, DRC of LMN, Ms Lunga Tseana, RC of KZN,
Mr Mnikelwa Nxele and the CDC ACSA and SADC, Ms Moodley attended the awards ceremony dressed
up as pirates.
