Training and Development at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University

I hereby acknowledge my Creator and Heavenly Farther for granting me the grace and opportunity to complete this study. The completion of this study is a testimony of Your answer to countless prayers. Thou will always receive all the honour and praise for successes achieved in my life. Immense innermost thanks and appreciation to my spouse Anne-Marie, who supported, motivated and encouraged me to achieve this milestone, while setting the example for our children to follow. Your endless love and care, during the long period of offering time and life style adjustments, will always be remembered. I sincerely convey gratitude to our children who continuously enquired about time and progress made. You were the motivating factors with expectation of the end results. Thank you for believing it is possible and that the dedicated work will be rewarded. I did mine, now it is your turn. I believe you will improve on my achievements. The major role-player surely was The North West University Education Faculty, particularly Dr John Van Der Merwe; a sincere word of appreciation for your endurance and patience with our group of students. You inspired us to achieve the goal set before us. Thank You. A special word of appreciation to Dr Florus Prinsloo, your knowledge and expertise contributed in every respect to the study. The staff members at Anglo Platinum ESTC deserve to be noted and recognised on this page for the study assistance, time and opportunities granted to me during this study period. Thank You
