He thanked Dr Molefi Oliphant for the role he played to ensure that SAMLFA Sedibeng achieved its objective to bring all the parties together.
“I must say if it wasn’t of Dr Oliphant I don’t think we could have achieved what we achieved today. I have too much respect for Ntate Oliphant and he used his experience to bring us under one umbrella when it seemed a mission impossible. There is so much we learn from Dr Oliphant and we will make sure going forward he is here to guide us because of his experience. It is not going to be easy, but we are prepared to serve those who have faith in us to lead them. We are not going to disappoint them because we are here not to serve ourselves but them,” said Khoabane.
