Well done to the Reitz police trio

The Reitz Police Station recently honoured three Warrant Officers who served the South African Police Service (SAPS) with pride, dedication and dignity for more than 30 years.

The officers received official certificates in recognition of their well-deserved retirement.

The three officers are: Warrant Officer Simon Mofokeng, who served for 33 years; Warrant Officer Alida Jaeoba Roodt, who served for 34 years; and Warrant Officer Molaba Piet Molaba, who served for 36 years.

The SAPS said these officers dedicated their lives to serving and protecting the community from the day they joined SAPS until the completion of their service.

"Sadly, some colleagues were unable to reach this milestone due to ill health or passing on," said the South African Police Service.

The SAPS management appreciated their outstanding service and extended sincere gratitude to their families for the continuous support throughout their careers.

"May they enjoy their retirement as respected senior citizens of our country. We thank God Almighty for the grace and long service He granted each of them," said the management.
