The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality mourns the sudden death of Assistant Horticulturist Mr Reggie Jenniker (60), a loyal employee for more than 30 years at the Parks Sub-directorate.
Mr Jenniker, who started as a Town Ranger and later worked as a Parks Constable before he obtained a Horticulture Diploma at the former Port Elizabeth Technikon, passed on after a tree collapsed on his vehicle after 12:00 while he was on his way to an inspection in the vicinity of King Edward Park.
Chris Hay, Assistant Director: Parks, said that he saw that the brake lights on the vehicle was on and that his former colleague still had both his hands on the steering wheel. He was on his way to inspect the work of grass cutting contractors in the area.
Cllr Patricia Ndlovu, Standing Committee Chairperson for Public Health, said the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality mourns Jenniker’s death.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and colleagues. May the Good Lord carry you through this difficult time,” she added.
