Thank you to the DistrictMail & Helderberg Gazette
Captain Zimasa Mabela hosted a meet-and-greet honoring Captain Moses Tabo with Helderberg organisations on Friday 24 July at Krystal Beach Hotel.
Captain Tabo has taken command of the South African Naval College.
The Naval College has been a cornerstone of the community for decades. Its annual Carols by Candlelight event is a cherished tradition that residents eagerly anticipate each year.
Captain Tabo expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome he has received from the Gordon's Bay community and shared his enthusiasm for continuing the college's proud legacy.
