Executive Mayor Ald RW ‘Boffie’ Strydom was enthused by the teamwork behind the groundbreaking Wavemaker Summit, and how that same attitude can permeate through the summit’s delegates.
“The African proverb ‘If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far, go together’ perhaps describes the spirit of the Wavemaker Summit itself, and the desire for the private sector, public sector and esteemed academics to work together.”
“Looking up on the opening day and seeing our CFO and summit organiser Dr Johan Tesselaar and his team of organisers and ambassadors in their branded Weskus t-shirts gave me a huge sense of pride while reminding me what teamwork and inspired leadership can accomplish.”
“Teamwork and common purpose extend beyond Dr Tesselaar’s team to Municipal Manager David Joubert’s administration arm and the political arm, including Weskus Distrik’s councillors.”
“In his address, the Mayor of Mossel Bay spoke about turning the tide, and we are confident that delegates will be encouraged to be the wavemakers and wind behind change. Together, we can and must do this”.
