THE eThekwini Inner and Outer West Cluster hosted a medal parade ceremony at His Church on Thursday, 23 March.
About 100 recipients were awarded medals for their service which ranged from 10, 20 and 30 years.
Crime intelligence members, Lt/Col Magagula, Lt/Col Linda L Viljoen and Capt Gert van Straaten from Pinetown SAPS were the only three members who were awarded medals for 30 years service in the SAPS.
Inner and Outer West cluster commander, Major General Sayer, said the people awarded were chosen based on their uninterrupted service in the SAPS.
“We were also looking at their character and we chose people who are exemplary members with good character.”
Inner and Outer West Cluster Commander chairman, Charlton Sibaca, received a special award for his service to the community.
“Sibaca has been involved with the CPFs since they started. He has worked tirelessly and his work at the Hammarsdale CPF and the cluster as a whole is commendable. We would also like to thank his wife, Sibongile who has been a silent partner. I am sure without her, Sibaca would not have given his best and time to the community work,” said Sayer.
Pinetown SAPS admin clerk, Grant Strydom was also recognised for his national award he received recently.
