It smacks of just being a political pawn to "assist" battling ex-struggle vets and pacify their discontent with being ignored for their personal sacrifices.
There is vey little chance that previously advantaged population groups will benefit in any way me thinks. I aint going to waste any precious time waiting in line to register for this.

Maybe they are measuring the opposition, so that they know what they are up against when the sh!t starts hitting the fan.

Updating the data base...

Apparantly this was on the radio yesterday and is above board, but they do a means test - so it is for those vets that dont have jobs etc and were injured etc

thanks for keeping us informed...

if this will help the 32 battalion veterans...i would agree with it...as they got the short end of the stick...moving over from angola...ex fnla troops...to support sandf in the war against swapo and fapla...now stuck in a country with little support...supporting ex terrorists mk...well we all have to have an open mind when it comes to political issues in this country.

all that money wasted in swa (namibia)and angola...for what? all those years i wasted in angola for what? the prime of my life...17 (still a kid)...18 and 19 wasted for what? it took me 7 years to qualify as an electrician because of all those years wasted national service 3 month camps...year after year.

I have done my 2 years + camps. I can not trust any government department with my personal information. The least they know, the better.

The DG:Military Veterans was on TV this morning saying you have to report in person to register - they're not accepting any of the forms circulating online.

The basic message was you need to report to any military base to register, and the registration period is up until 13th July 2012.

[murdock]

yip i see they ran an ad on tv last night....typical the original date has already expired and then they run an ad with a week left to register...

[desA]

Who on earth want to be involved with yet another military outreach? Nothing has ever been for nothing in ZA.

Watch the fine-print of the forms you fill in - they could very well entrap you, going forwards.

[murdock]

one of the question on the form is "are you disable" and considering we had one of the most powerfull armies...they could be onto something just going off at a tangent...you just never know what they are up to.

just saw an ad on SABC giving a few different numbers for the different provinces.

I think Dave must move the other thread into this one or just combine them. Same questions and answers get asked and repeated in different threads.
