Dear Thea , Ayanda and PDP team ,
I ’ d like to thank you all for organising today ’ s knowledge share session . It was not only entertaining , and informative , but provided people with much needed insight into the commissioning procedure . I certainly learnt a great deal about the commissioning process of the SABC and I ’ m delighted I came . It was also fantastic to see the enthusiasm of the room , and how valuable all participants found it . The ad hoc networking session outside was also great .
Thanks again and keep the knowledge share sessions coming !
