In the State of the Nation debate of 14 February 2023 in Parliament in the City Hall I had raised the issue of pensions of civil servants and military veterans from the SATBVC states, after which President Cyril Ramaphosa had indicated in his reply that: “The Honourable Holomisa has raised the issue of the pensions of civil servants and military veterans from the TBVC states. These are indeed issues that need to be considered. The Deputy President heads a task team on benefits for military veterans, which has a workstream on pension. I have asked this task team to provide report on this issue. I have further asked the Minister of Finance to set up a team to look into the pensions for civil servants from the TBVC states.”
On 13 January 2023 I had the privilege to address a gathering of the Transkei Defence Force Military Veterans Association, in Mthatha, at which the proposed regulations seeking to regulate pension benefit of the military veterans, as well as the pensions of military veterans and other civil servants, in general, were the topics of discussion. I attach my speech for your information.
