MOUNTAIN Zebra National Park’s rest camp and guided activities currently have bragging rights in the frontier region of SANParks.
This comes after their staff walked away with the best performing camp and best performing business unit awards at this year’s Regional Achievement Awards recently.
The awards evening takes place annually, giving recognition to individuals, teams and parks for outstanding service in the previous financial year – in this case 2018/19.
The frontier region is made up of the Addo Elephant, Camdeboo, Garden Route, Karoo and Mountain Zebra national parks.
Two individual awards went to senior section ranger, Masindi Raselabe, for best leadership, while receptionist, Jeanie Botha, took home a best customer service award.
Frontier regional general manager, Dries Engelbrecht, congratulated all the recipients on their awards and thanked them for their selfless work.
He was joined in congratulating his staff by SANParks’ managing executive: parks, Property Mokoena, who flew in specially to attend the awards.
“You are the examples of the quality of staff we have working in our national parks.
“Your dedication, passion and loyalty is evident in everything you do, and we hope that receiving these awards tonight will go a long way in not only motivating you to carry on in this fashion, but also see your colleagues striving for better.
“I, along with your regional manager and other top management in the region, am very proud of all the winners this evening, as well as all the other staff members who were nominated,” Engelbrecht said.
