Dr. Annelie Rabie, Executive Mayor of Overstrand Municipality, Cllr. Lindile Ntsabo, Deputy Executive Mayor and Portfolio Head of Protection Services and Crime Prevention, and Neville Michaels, Director of Protection Services, wish to welcome the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) to the Overstrand.
