Petition in Support of Gregory Von Gordon

We, the undersigned members of the community, submit this petition to express our strong support for Mr. Gregory Von Gordon, a valued and dedicated member of our community.

It has come to our attention that there are intentions within the City of Tshwane to dismiss Mr. Von Gordon based on a Facebook post he made while participating in an open platform and discussion. Mr. Cilliers Brink also took part in a podcast on the same open platform. We understand that the City perceives this as an action against the entire municipality, although Mr. Von Gordon's frustration was specifically directed towards Mr. Brink within the context of an open and public discussion.

This petition aims to attest to the character and contributions of Mr. Gregory Von Gordon:

1. Values and Dedication: Gregory Von Gordon epitomizes the values of integrity, kindness, and dedication. He has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the well-being of our community. These values manifest in his professional endeavors, where he consistently treats our community with respect and unwavering commitment while representing the City of Tshwane.

2. Community Pillar: As a pillar of our community, Mr. Von Gordon is always ready to lend a helping hand and make a positive impact wherever he goes. His enthusiasm and dedication leave a lasting impression on those around him. His approach and assistance to various City of Tshwane departments have unveiled aspects of his role that were not explicitly outlined in his job description. Whether he is in a trench drawing cables, operating a cherry picker, or aiding in a substation, his involvement in addressing a myriad of issues demonstrates his commitment and versatility. The recognition he receives from other teams underscores his pivotal role as a cornerstone in the City of Tshwane.

3. Hardworking Nature: Mr. Von Gordon's hardworking nature is beyond description. He has been a pivotal force in addressing and resolving issues, particularly those related to power outages, contributing significantly to the community's welfare. Mr. Von Gordon is willing to assist individuals across diverse demographics, ranging from the elderly community to single individuals and those with specific profiles. His passion in serving each group with equal dedication embodies the City of Tshwane's commitment to striving for improved service delivery.

4. Commitment to Electricity Services: Regardless of the time of day or night, Mr. Von Gordon has always been willing to extend a helping hand to address power-related concerns. His commitment to ensuring the smooth operation of electricity services is commendable. His readiness to listen and offer assistance, whether it's a tripped breaker, a meter fault, stolen lines, or cases of vandalism, is praiseworthy. There are simply no limitations to his eagerness to support the community.

5. Reliability During Leave or Illness: Even during periods of leave or illness, Mr. Von Gordon remains a reliable source of assistance. His dedication to the community's well-being is truly remarkable.

6. Invaluable Asset: Mr. Von Gordon's efforts have made him an invaluable asset to our community. Without his tireless contributions, managing various challenges, especially those associated with load shedding, would be significantly more challenging.

7. Sacrifice for the Community: Mr. Von Gordon sacrifices his personal time and well-being to address power-related issues, often driving with very little sleep to manage electricity services during load shedding.

8. Exceptional Work Ethic: His exceptional work ethic, integrity, and values stand out prominently. His dedication not only to his role but also to the well-being of our community has made a significant impact, often at the expense of his personal time with his family.

We, the undersigned, firmly believe that Mr. Gregory Von Gordon's dismissal would be a great loss to our community. We respectfully request that the City of Tshwane reconsider its decision and recognize the invaluable contributions Mr. Von Gordon has made and continues to make to our community.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
