Nashua’s jubilee of excellence
Nashua Mpumalanga (Middelburg) hosted its Highveld and Lowveld subsidiaries during the group’s annual awards ceremony at Olifants River Lodge over the weekend.
Awards were bestowed on Nashua go-getters from Middelburg, Mbombela (Lowveld) and Ermelo (Highveld). A carnival theme set the stage for the prestigious awards, which included long service awards.

• Five years of service: Qondisile Edith Mothsweni, Karenita Loots, Legodi Mashiane and Charles van Niekerk.
