The Deputy Minister of Social Development Mrs Maria Ntuli will be hosting an educational awareness campaign to highlight the challenges facing older persons.
This campaign will serve as a platform to highlight the plight of older persons and educate them about their rights as enshrined in the Constitution of South Africa. With a variety of roles to play in the households, this campaign will educate older persons about their rights thus ensuring a dignified treatment by members of society.
In addition to these roles, older persons also have a responsibility of raising and nurturing their grandchildren including those who are orphaned as a result of social ills such as HIV and AIDS.
