“It is yet again a privilege to stand before you and address you on this special awards night. The year has been long and fraught with many challenges, but as the theme of our celebration this year states, we have conquered because we are STRONGER TOGETHER” Mr. Tlhagwane said when addressing MVA Fund Staff during the 2017 staff awards dinner.
He noted that the Fund’s strength emanates from its shared values which are indelibly engrained in the fabric of the organization.
“As you already know, this year the Fund suffered terrible setbacks in its financial performance. This state of affairs is squarely attributable to the ever escalating road crashes and underperforming fiscal markets. This has caused us to be frugal in our spending yet without compromising the service we offer to our valued stakeholders especially claimants. As a consequence of this turbulence, we have had to forgo celebrating this occasion in an elaborate manner as we have accustomed ourselves to doing” said Mr. Tlhagwane.
