It gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of our vice president, Peter Zietsman. Peter was one of the founder members of the Secunda branch 15 years ago and has actively served as branch secretary, chairman, treasurer as well as Function and Golf Day organiser. In addition to all these duties, Peter has for many years served as a councillor on the National Council where he represented the interests of the Secunda Branch. Travelling from Kriel in Mpumalanga to attend monthly Council meetings is just one of the commitments that Peter has made to the Institute. We welcome him and wish him all the best in this senior council position.
