Master of Ceremonies Katlego Maboe, Cape Town comedian Dalin Oliver, DJ Ultra Mel as well as a surprise performance from a local Cape Minstrels Troop ensured that \u2018The Red Night\u2019 would be a night to remember and indeed made very sure that it was a celebration of a journey of 30 years and the people that have contributed to the success of Club Travel over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers Jerry Mabena \u2013 Thebe Tourism CEO, Gary Mulder \u2013 Club Travel Financial Director, Rian Bornman \u2013 Managing Director FlightSite and Club Travel MD Wally Gaynor, took attendees on a journey through time which highlighted the humble beginnings of Club Travel in 1987 to the major multi-billion rand organisation it has become in the industry today. \u201cThe most important things in life are one\u2019s health, family and friends\u201d said Wally Gaynor and expressed that the success of Club Travel has been that it is a family and genuinely cares about the wellbeing of every single individual that is part of the organisation.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the evening was employees being acknowledged for long service as well as special awards for Exceptional Employee of the Year, Service Excellence and Directors\u2019 Award. The moment was overflowing with so much emotion and many a tear was shed as recipients received 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 years long service awards.
