"First in integrated fire management"
It is with deep regret that we inform you that yesterday we have lost Bandit Steyn, a loved and respected member of our family. He was busy with prescribed burning work in the Steelpoort area when he became ill and was admitted to a local mine clinic where he passed away.
Bandit was one of the original members of the Group who joined FFA to implement the Working on Fire Programme. He was a unique person, uncompromising in his generosity and love for his fellow man. He abhorred injustice and unfairness and was always willing to fight for the rights of anyone working with and for him. Bandit never gave orders to others that he could not or would not be prepared to perform himself – he was the quintessential team-player!
No challenge was too difficult for Bandit and woe betide you if you tried to help him because you considered him disabled. He never entertained the concept. The man was larger than life - his energy and capacity knew no bounds!
Our thoughts are with Karen, Alex and Lauralin Steyn at this difficult time.
All staff will be informed as to when the funeral will be held.
Hamba Kahle, Bandit our friend!
We will miss you!
Chris de Bruno Austin & Johan Heine
