It is with deep sadness that the George Municipality mourns the passing of Ms Jakkie Armoed, a valued member of our Parks and Recreation, Beaches section. Ms Armoed passed away on 19 September 2025 at the age of 58.

She began her service to the Municipality in 2006 as a casual worker at Herold’s Bay Beach and, in 2017, was permanently appointed as a general worker. For nearly two decades, Ms Armoed played an important role in maintaining Herold’s Bay Beach and Caravan Park, helping to ensure a welcoming and enjoyable experience for residents and visitors alike.

Her commitment and warm presence left a lasting impression not only on her colleagues but also on the Herold’s Bay community, where she was well respected and appreciated.

On behalf of the George Municipality, Municipal Manager Mr Godfrey Louw extended heartfelt condolences: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Ms Armoed. Her dedication and contribution to our community will be fondly remembered. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.”

Ms Armoed was laid to rest on Saturday, 27 September 2025.
