Local officer represents at provincial and nationals
KwaThema - Willie Bosch (43) is no ordinary policeman.
The warrant officer, who works at the KwaThema Police Station, also has a deep love for fishing, which has seen him going places to represent at provincial and national levels.
In March the Geduld resident attended the Gauteng Provincial trials for freshwater bank angling at the Vaal Dam.
After the trials he was selected to represent the Gauteng B Team at Bloemhof Dam in the North West Province between October 15 and 22.

“Participants from 10 provinces/teams competed in the SAPS National Freshwater Bank Angling Championship.
“After the gruelling fishing in the very hot but windy weather, the Gauteng A Team came second overall while the B Team came in fourth,” explains police spokesman Capt Thabo Sibuyi.
Bosch was also selected to represent the SAPS National teams in next year’s Interforces National Competition, which will be held at Bloemhof Dam.

“This has been a great achievement and honour for me.
