Glitz and glamour Round the table
The Kameeldoring 92 Round Table in Mokopane has been successfully running since 1962, and they have been able to help the community of Mokopane where needed. They held their annual induction dinner at the elegant Euphoria Golf Estate on Friday.
MOKOPANE – ADOPT, adapt and improve has been the motto of the Round Table since 1927.
One of the main aims of the Round Table is to develop fellowship among young men through their professional and business occupations and to emphasise the fact that one’s calling offers an excellent medium of service to the community.

Frans Blignaut was appointed as the new chairman for 2015.
“I am very honoured to have been granted this title and I look forward to a great year and to do great things for the community of Mokopane,” he said.
His goals for 2015 are as follows:
• Community projects: to make the community aware of the good cause of Kameeldoring 92 Round Table by implementing new projects that will generate more funds to help the less fortunate and people in need.
• To be an example for the young men of Mokopane and to show them that through hard work you can make a positive difference in someone’s life.
• To expand the Round Table organisation in the future to make sure that the organisation remains strong within the community.
“Without the community’s support we are not able to help people who are in need of assistance.
“Please feel free to contact us at kameeldoring92@gmail.com if you know of someone in need of support,” Blignaut said.
Nicolaas le Roux, last year’s chairman, said: “It was a great honour to have been chairman and I am proud to say that although we are part of a small community, we show growth every year and we are one of the best Round Table clubs in South Africa. “The Kameeldoring 92 Round Table is proud to have raised R150 000 for charity in 2014.”
