Chief Executive Award Winners
Business Partner of the Year : Jock Safari Lodge
The Kudu and Chief Executive Awards is an initiative that aims to reward stakeholders for their contributions and efforts in making South African National Parks the custodian of choice for protected areas.
A select number of persons and organisations who have made significant contributions to conservation receive a Kudu Award or Cheif Executive Award in the form of a bronze sculpture of a Kudu head.
Jock Safari Lodge received an award in the category of Business Partner of the Year. This is a new category in the Cheif Executive Awards that seeks to recognise the important role played by SANParks Business Partners in assiting with SANParks organisational objectives.
This award recognises Jock Safari Lodge for being a highly competent strategic partner who excels in technical, environmental and financial compliance, as well as having outstanding year-on-year business growth and proved to be compliant in terms of fee payments.
The award was given out by the Chief Executive of SANParks, Dr David Mabunda.
The Kudu and Chief Executive Awards is fundamental to the practice of recognising, acknowledging and praising the people who have, over the years, given financial and other resources to SANParks and other conservation agencies, while also recognising those people that have made it possible for conservation agencies to operate in a conducive and enabling environment.
This is an annual event that launched in June 2005, and is one of the highlights of the social calendar in conservation circles.
