Inspiring and Training Future Firefighters
Submitted by:Â Â Zweli Khoza
Meet Oom Piet Van Staden. I joined the fire department as a volunteer in 2001, when I was still very young and naughty. Not once did this man ever give up on me. Yes, he would reprimand me now and then, but that was to show the love he had for me. He became a father-figure to me.
