ASTOA - Chairman Year End Farewell Message

Greetings to the leadership of the organization. Greetings to the management of the organization. Greetings to the backbone of the organization, the members of the administrative office. Let me not forget the foot-soldiers and security personnel. Family, friends, and all reading this.

Another year has come and gone. As an entity, we set goals and objectives. We achieved some and lost others. That’s how it works in any organization. What we shouldn't do is be like ostriches and hide our heads in the sand. When one is faced with adversity, one must face it head-on.

We had highs where we celebrated events and occasions, but simultaneously we had lows, wherein we sadly lost some of our invaluable members. We managed to pull through those times and soldier on.

As we part ways to go and rest, may we take this time to count our blessings, appreciate what we have, and also remember what and who we have lost. All we know is that after every dark cloud there is a silver lining and every storm ends with a beautiful rainbow.

Those who will be traveling, may the travel mercies go before you, and those staying put here in Gauteng, enjoy the time with your loved ones.

Let’s meet again in 2026, God willing!

Have a beautiful festive season.

Khotso e be le lona ka moka (Peace dwell with all of you)
