As we move towards the end of the year, it is with mixed emotions we prepare to bid farewell to our CEO Jakkie Olivier, who will be retiring at the end of the year.
Jakkie has been an incredible leader, mentor and supporter of the RMI for over 30 years and in particular, as CEO for the last ten years, and will be deeply missed by so many. He is however leaving the RMI in a very strong place and his legacy will be felt for many years to come.
Over the next couple of months we will be communicating with you regularly as we build up to December. Jakkie will be attending our Regional AGMs around the country and you will have an opportunity to bid him farewell face-to-face.
I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation for the incredible dedication, resilience and courage Jakkie has shown over the last decade. It will be our pleasure to unpack these milestones over the coming months.
The issue of his replacement is currently being dealt with at Board level and we will advise you as soon as a replacement has been appointed.
Sincerely
Jeanne Esterhuizen
RMI President
