I was recently honoured with the "Dr David Smith 10 year Service Award" from Round Table Southern Africa in recognition of my decade-long commitment to the organization.

It all started in 2012, when Jandre Barnard invited me to a meeting at Matlosane 219. Today, I remain an active member of the organization, now at Matlosane 45. During a recent meeting of Round Table STNOFS Area in Potchefstroom,

I was presented with the award in appreciation of my unwavering dedication and contribution to the organization over the past 10 years.

Throughout my tenure, I have been a driving force behind many of Round Table's community initiatives, including fundraising events, volunteer work, and more.

Service Award is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of members like myself, who have made significant contributions to their communities through their service.

Receiving the Dr David Smith 10-year Service Award is a great honour, and I am deeply committed to Round Table Southern Africa and the work we do. This recognition means a great deal to me, and I am grateful for the support and encouragement of my fellow Round Table members over the years.

I am proud to be a part of this organization, and I look forward to continuing to serve and make a difference in the years to come. Once again, I express my heartfelt gratitude for this prestigious award and to all those who have supported me along the way.

As an organization, Round Table Southern Africa is dedicated to making a positive impact on the communities we serve. The Dr David Smith 10-year

We are here to build (develop) FELLOWSHIPS (friendship) between young men, not flex our “man hood” , we are here to foster RESPONSIBLE citizenship, not promote negativity, to offer an

EXCELLENT medium of service to our community, not half heartily in service. This is what table is for me and how I strive to table, to be recognized and appreciated for me being me and living my fullest for TABLE, is one of my greatest achievements I've received. For that and all its brought to my life, goals and dreams, I thank this wonderful organization. A few important steps to success and greatness. Know yourself, start without hesitation, be small goal driven first, set long term goals, focus on what you want to achieve and not be haltered by limitations, track your progress, set metrics, and learn for successful cases first, then innovate, FIND A COACH.

In closing - fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.
