CHAIRMAN’S DESK
LEEASA NEWS Just over a year now since Covid-19 hit our rainbow nation causing chaos in just about every imaginary form possible. We do not know when a third wave will hit us and if the governments vaccination plans will succeed in limiting the spread of the virus but one thing for certain as South Africans, we will stand united and ready to tackle any problems that come our way. It has not been an easy year for
anyone. Some have lost their jobs, businesses have closed and loved ones have been lost. At LEEASA we have also faced our own set of challenges and, a decline in membership was expected due to the loss of income experienced in our members. We would like to thank all the members who have paid up memberships or committed to payments in the upcoming months once finances improve. We request
any members facing financial difficulties to approach us for assistance with there membership fees if required. Although our membership base is growing by the day, we are still facing some challenges on the membership front.
