He highly praised Hytera’s role in the event. In addition, the chief of CMIS (Command and Management Information System) from Department of Defence, Maj. General Sipika was also full of praise for Hytera who has expressed its desire to establish the relationship with CMIS based on a mutual benefit and trust.
“It is our great honor to participate in this amazing event organized by the SANDF Education Trust,” said Mark Zheng, Director of Hytera South Africa, “When we learned about the Trust and its honorable aim, we decided to do something and make our contributions. The event shares the same value as Hytera advocates that we want to make our homeland a better and safer place with critical communications."
Hytera has been active and passionate in contributions to disaster relief efforts and charity events since its first footprint in South Africa in 2003.
After a successful day of golfing, all members, participants and sponsors were invited to a gala dinner. Over 1.4 million rand were raised for the education trust through auction and pledges, which made it a great ending for a really meaningful charity.
