“I kept people safe in the water for 22 years; now I will be keeping them safe when they are out of the water,” said Barber.
Beach manager Jace Govender and Ward 97 councillor André Beetge were at hand to welcome Barber. Beetge wished Barber well in his new position, saying the beach is in good hands.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better officer because he knows all our beaches very well, having worked in the entire 31km stretch of the coast north of Umkomaas. Everyone is in safe hands,” said Beetge.
