Drakensberg team building
exercise
Over the weekend of 15 to
17 April 2005, Honorary Colonels of the Air Force and the
Air Force Board met for their annual work session at Dragon
Peaks Park in the Drakensberg.
The underlying intent of this team-building exercise was to
promote interaction between the Honorary Colonels and top
management of the South African Air Force, in order to
achieve the communication objectives of the Chief of the Air
Force and the Air Force Board.
Support for the Air Force and the aim of attaining
excellence in communication were the main messages and theme
of this meeting. The formal work session over the weekend
focused on the role of Honorary Colonels in the SAAF and the
role of the Air Force Board, as well as challenges faced by
the SAAF. A presentation on the SAAF’s vision 2012 by Brig
Gen P.J. van Zyl was well received by the members.
The relaxed atmosphere, scenic surroundings and favourable
ambience of the Drakensberg enhanced teamwork and
discussions, ensuring the completion of planned goals and
objectives.
A falcon show, a visit to the mountain flying training area
and a performance by the Drakensberg Boys Choir with
Honorary Colonel Yvonne Chaka Chaka were part of the
informal team-building exercises that contributed to the
success of the weekend.
