The GO GEORGE team took a few hours last week to say thank you to safety-related departments in George that contribute to the safe service the public transport system aims to render.
As it happened, the two days chosen to deliver soup and rolls were icy cold and partly wet, so the gesture was warmly welcomed by the recipients.

Soup Fire and Rescue
At George Fire and Rescue the entire Shift A quickly gathered to grab a steaming cup of soup and a roll. From left are Thandeka Webber (temporary cleaner), Jim Domone (firefighter), Divisional Commander Neels Barnard, Warick Fisher (firefighter on the Expanded Public Works Program), André Nelson (acting platoon commander), Solly Gysman (firefighter), Joseph Fortuin (firefighter), James Robb (GO GEORGE Manager), in front of him Tracey Bussak (firefighter on the Expanded Public Works Program) and Morne Lakay (GO GEORGE Assistant Manager). Adding warmth to the welcome beverage was the lovely Alexandra Swarts (in front) who joined the GO GEORGE team in saying thank you and to help dish out the soup. Alexandra (16) is a Grade 11 learner at Rundle College and one of only 24 South African finalists in the Miss Commonwealth Teen competition. Cast your vote for George’s finalist by sending an SMS with the words ‘”Alexandra Swarts” to 35554.
