According to RPA’s publicity officer Joy Hamann, the event was a huge success.
“We had an excellent turnout at the function and I am proud to say that our membership base is growing fast.
“It’s good to see that members are networking with one another much more.
“This is an indication that we are well on our way to building a strong West Rand business community and that’s exactly what we want,” says Harmann.
She adds that the main purpose of the meeting was to encourage members to make use of one another’s services and to buy locally, rather than travelling to areas outside of the West Rand.
“If anything, this empowers everyone involved and helps to grow businesses and the West Rand as a whole,” says Harmann.
She adds that RPA members are not only from Randfontein, but also from surrounding towns and that the networking functions are beneficial to all business owners involved.
At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
"Johan is an internationally published journalist and editor with extensive experience in news and industry reporting. His work has featured in numerous publications over the years.
He cut his teeth at the Roodepoort Record and Northside Chronicle as proofreader, swiftly progressing to junior journalist. He later joined Randfontein Herald as journalist and eventually worked his way up to becoming editor. During his years away from Caxton, he fulfilled journalist and editor positions for various industry publications at the once mighty Malnor Media House right up to their closure in 2019. This position saw him traveling all over the world on writing assignments. Since 2019, he has worked as a freelancer for various publishing houses, and had a year-long stint as senior editor for a large stable of retail and medical B2B titles, until rapid growth of his own small business required his fulltime attention. At the end of 2023, with his own business now fully staffed, Johan decided to dedicate himself to his first love, working as a local journalist for the good of his community.
