In an effort to acknowledge the sacrifices and the role played by military veterans in the liberation of our country, the Gauteng provincial government will this coming weekend host the Gauteng Military Veterans Association Conference.
The conference will see the formulation of a legitimate and properly constituted representative structure for the military veterans in the province. It will also outline the Programme of Action to address the needs of military veterans and promote their social and economic integration within the province.
"It has been recognised that South Africa's military veterans sacrificed their lives, and careers for the liberation struggle and democratisation of our country from the apartheid regime.
"This democracy and freedom is indebted to their selfless sacrifices and contribution. It is, therefore, incumbent upon government to ensure that our military veterans also benefit from the fruits of our democratic dispensation," said MEC for Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, Nelisiwe Moerane.
The details of the conference:
Date: 4 to 5 September 2010
Venue: Booysens Hotel, Booysens
Time: 08h00
