Swellendam Munisipaliteit vereer Jontas Gertse met aftrede ná 32 jaar diens 👏

Swellendam Munisipaliteit het vandag afskeid geneem van Jontas Gertse na ’n merkwaardige 32 jaar van toegewyde diens.

Jontas, bekend vir ’n sterk werksetiek, onwrikbare toewyding en praktiese leierskap, het ’n belangrike rol gespeel om te verseker dat Swellendam skoon, netjies en verwelkomend bly.

Gedurende drie dekades van diens het Jontas nie ’n enkele dag siekverlof geneem nie en is wyd gerespekteer daarvoor dat hy skouer aan skouer werk saam met die spanne onder sy toesig en altyd ’n hoë standaard van uitnemendheid gestel het.

Die Munisipaliteit spreek sy opregte dank uit teenoor Jontas vir sy uitstaande bydrae tot die gemeenskap en wens hom alle geluk in sy aftrede toe.

Jontas laat ’n blywende nalatenskap van toewyding, nederigheid en diensbaarheid agter wat nog lank deur kollegas en inwoners onthou sal word.
