Rawson Properties’ brand manager, Honorata Saar, and the financial director of the Rawson Property Group, Calum Wedge, have given a cheque for just over R20 000 to the NSRI Witsand, of which their Witsand franchisee, Leon Pretorius is a member.The donation which was collected, following an appeal by Rawson MD, Tony Clarke, from franchisees countrywide, is in honour of the outstanding courage shown by Leon Pretorius and his fellow Witsand crew members Attie Gunter (coxswain) and Quentin Diener when they went to the aid of the 13m catamaran “Gulliver”, sailing from Stilbaai which had got into serious trouble on account of appalling weather – and had capsized.“I am very proud that a Rawson franchisee was part of this rescue and our donation is evidence that we recognise and value the NSRI’s efforts which over the years have saved so many lives,” said Tony.
