Club’s former president
was inducted as the new
district governor’s assistant, and
the former secretary of the club
as the new president.
Adre Bartis will now serve as
the assistant governor of the
district, which includes the
Queenstown, Lukhanji Sunset,
Stutterheim and King William’s
Town Rotary Clubs.
Luxolo Mkosana, the former
secretary, is now president of
the Lukhanji Sunset Rotary
Club.
“Rotary International is a
global organisation providing
humanitarian service and
advancing goodwill and peace
around the world. It is nonpolitical

is open to everyone.
“My role is to ensure we do
what we say we are about,
which is service above self.
Serving people regardless of
their stature or title,” Bartis said.
When she was president
from 2020 to 2021, the
lockdown had a major effect on
their projects, she said.
They managed to be part of
the shoe box project with
Asanda Lisa at Christmas time.
“We handed over a few
boxes donated by community
members in Komani. We also
handed over food parcels to the
underprivileged during the
Covid drive and donated to
soup kitchens.”
One of their big quests was

in Mlungisi.
According to Bartis, the preschool,
which was currently
operating in a home, should
have been built a while back.
