Director Elections
The following individuals stood for election as Welgemoed CID Directors:
- Abie Fortuin

The election of directors was conducted on the basis of majority support, as outlined during the AGM. In other words, any candidate receiving more votes in favour than against was duly elected as a director. The proposed limit of five directors was discussed at the meeting but was neither adopted nor applied in this election. The matter of establishing a director limit will be revisited in future discussions, accompanied by a practical proposal.
Following the vote, the following nominees were elected as directors:
