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. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which robbed Nashua of recognising in-house excellence in 2020, the 2020 awards were included in this year’s ceremony.

Mr Steve Opperman, Mr Steve Anderson, Mr Junior van Niekerk, Ms Cecilia Victor (Nashua Employee of the Year), Advocate Mtho Xulu, Mr Eddie de Lange, Mr Ludick Meyer and Ms Elsa Erasmus.

The 2020 long service recipients were:

• Five years of service: Qondisile Edith Mothsweni, Karenita Loots, Legodi Mashiane and Charles van Niekerk.
• 10 years of service: Pierre Brouwer.
• 20 years of service: Portia Mthimunye.
