Writer Raphael da Silva

Continuation. Collaboration. Commitment. These three words sum up the vision of the new Hermanus Public Protection (HPP) Board as they work together to build a new strategy and future for the organisation. The board members took over last week, following the resignation of the previous HPP Board.

He says his interest in safety and security goes back to his days in Zululand, where the couple lived for 22 years along the Natal North Coast before relocating to Hermanus in 2012.
