TZANEEN– Thompson Mushwana, affectionately known as “Boy”, has officially retired from Lufafa Hatchery after an impressive 21 years of dedicated service.
Mushwana joined the company in 2004 as a general employee and quickly distinguished himself through his hard work and commitment.
“Due to his diligent and hardworking nature, he progressed through the ranks and was promoted to a foreman,” management said.
In his role, Mushwana was responsible for managing water supply systems across the chicken houses and the hatchery — a critical task that often required him to work late into the night, especially during the summer months, to ensure the chickens had sufficient water.
“This was no mean task, but he carried it out with dedication and reliability,” management added.
Over the years, Mushwana became a respected figure within the company, mentoring younger employees and sharing his knowledge of the water systems. Colleagues came to regard him as a father figure.
“Thompson was a model employee who always worked with a positive attitude and a smile,” the company said.
Located about 26 kilometres east of Tzaneen in the Letaba District, Lufafa Hatchery is known for supplying day-old chicks, quality eggs, vaccines, medications, disinfectants and cleaning products.
The company extended its gratitude to Mushwana, wishing him a restful and well-deserved retirement.
