This is a YouTube video titled "John Deere Africa | Awards Ceremony 2020" containing a recorded awards ceremony held in 2020. The content features a single speaker announcing various award winners within the John Deere dealer network across Africa, celebrating achievements and emphasizing the importance of motivation and professionalism in the business. The context is a formal corporate event recognizing outstanding employees and dealers.
It was a challenging year, but John Deere and our dealer network stood together with the right focus and determination. We came out stronger on the other side. Today is about celebrating all those individuals that made a massive contribution to our business. So the salesman of the year for AFG North was Paul van Rensburg. Johnny de Bodd. John Swart. JDI Derek Sturley. The man last but not least is Ivan Hals from Masco. Unfortunately he's not here today. The winner goes to AFG Western Camp. And then the first place in that category is AFG Botswana. It was a very well organised and great event with a lot of people participating in this awards throughout the continent. And yes, and I think it's a privilege to be part of this awards ceremony of John Deere. To be recognised on a platform like this is important, you know, it keeps the challenge up. It keeps the guys motivated. It's big prizes always up for grabs. And it brings a certain ease for our customers as well to know that people are continuously trying to better themselves and to be more professional. So it's very important to continue with this event and to, you know, get these achievements. For the second year in a row, a big congratulation to Lézette Nichols on achieving video of the award. Without further ado, let me announce the top B .O. for 2020. De Kaledi McWenna. Every time in a row, Jaco Bessels afgrie maakwaar. Sinves Wipstad workshop of the year 2020. Ladies and gentlemen, first prize, technician of the year 2020 goes to... Gerard Grover. In a close off, a purpose statement for every John Deere employee and dealer. We run so life can leap forward. Keeping our customers going while they feed, close, build our country and our beloved continent that we all know.
