GEORGE NEWS - The Executive Mayor of George, Ald Leon van Wyk, presented the Junior Mayor of George, Ludolph Pedro, with a mayoral chain during a ceremonial handover at the Mayor’s office.
The mayor said it is a symbolic gesture of a position of a mayor and to emphasize the role of young people in society in general and to make sure their voices are heard.
“The youth are leaders among their peers and society NOW, not only in the future,” he added.
