The branch hosted its annual year-end function at Graceland Casino and Country Club on Friday 17 November 2017. This was an event which everyone looked forward to and proved a great way to strengthen ties with vendors, suppliers, sponsors and all members in the instrumentation and control industry. It was a showcase and celebration of the branch accomplishments of last year.
The venue was transformed into a Moroccan streetside restaurant that set the perfect backdrop for the amazing Moroccan themed plated menu prepared by executive chef Johan van Zyl. He transported us to this foreign land with dishes that included slow cooked Moroccan lamb shank, Duka rubbed charred chicken and then ended the meal with an Arabian trio of sweets.
After Dinner, South African mentalist Gilan Gork entertained the guests with a series of intellectual games in which he read people’s behaviour and responses, in some cases leading the participant to the answer. He is truly an expert in his field which ensured that this was a night to remember.
Another highlight of the evening was the handing out of accolades:
• The Branch Patron Member award was accepted by Christelle Schoeman from Honeywell.
• Bhekani Khumalo from Sasol received the SAIMC Apprentice of the Year award.
• Willem Meintjes from VUT received the SAIMC Student of the Year award.
We would like to thank all the sponsors and guests who contributed to the success of this prestigious event.
