A Groundbreaking meeting was held in Beaufort West by the Western Cape Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) which paved the way for unity, cooperation & support in the province.
Seen here are the PEC with REC leaders & the late Mr. Kammies, a stalwart of SACCMVA.
The WCape PEC believe in decentralized management where every member's contribution is valued, respected and acknowledged.
The Provincial team is geared for growth and innovation to ensure a positive outlook for SACCMVA.
SACCMVA Western Cape takes military veteran matters very serious and has already visited DMV in Pretoria with great successes over the past 4 years.
Mobilizing members to resolve painful military veteran benefit issues challenge the province but the dedication and commitment reaped the rewards

SACCMVA Western Cape start the year 2024 with great expectations where all military veterans will be visited and important information on military veteran benefits be shared.
The first gathering took place in the Garden Route area, in particular, Knysna on Saturday 20 Jan 2024.
Mr. Bruinders, Provincial Chairperson of SACCMVA, take Military Veteran matters seriously and leave no stone unturned to improve SACC military veteran lives in the Western Cape.
The meeting was well attended by all the regional Knysna, Plettenberg Bay & Surrounding areas.
Military Pension & Housing benefits topped the discussions and the members really showed renewed interest in joining the only legitimate Mil Veteran organization, SACCMVA to improve their living conditions and fulfil their role in the local community.
The painful slow progress to register on DMV database aggravate the dire circumstances of Mil Veterans in Knysna area and families really live in precarious conditions which is further worsened by joblessness, and all other socio-economic challenges.
MILITÊRE VETERANE VOORDELE VOORUITSIGTE
Hierdie kommunikasie word gerig aan alle SAKKMVA lede rakende militêre veterane voordele, lede se verwagtinge, en die uitdagings wat daarmee gepaard gaan.
As SAKKMVA strukturele bestuur ( NEC, PEC REC) is dit regtig nodig vir alle lede om alle aangeleenthede tov militêre veterane voordele aansoeke in die regte perspektief te sien, ingelig te wees en meer positiewe benadering op te bou jeens SAKKMVA se werksaamhede.
DMV SE POLITIES GEMOTIVEERDE BENADERING JEENS SAKKMVA:
SAKKMVA as organisasie het in die laaste 5 jaar baie druk ervaar van lede mbt voordele aansoeke en hierdie druk is verder verhoog deur DMV se onbereidwilligheid en afkeur van die SAKK soldaat weens ons verbintenis met die apartheids regering.
DMV se standpunt rondom SAKK mil veterane aansoeke vir voordele is baie duidelik in hul optredes sigbaar en dit is:
1. Handhaaf n bendaring van polities gemotiveerde druk
2. Plaas alle SAKKMVA aansoeke vir voordele onder die spreekwoordelike vergrootglas en vertraag dit in soverre moontlik.
3. Verseker dat daar verdeeldheid gesaai word tov suksesse met aansoeke – dit verseker ons wantrou mekaar en verswak ons strukture.
4. Vertraag telefoniese en elektroniese Navrae ten alle koste – Dit verhoog die druk op leiergroepe en saai verwarring.
5. Weerhou publikasie van prosesse en vermy kommunikasie tov voordele waar moontlik
6. Verseker SAKK lede se agteruitgang word uitgedaag in gesprekke en vergaderings.
Hierdie is maar n handvol polities gemotiveerde benaderings wat sigbaar is – daar is ander wat in die binne portale van DMV ook nog in werking is.
WAT IS DIE OPTREDES/VERWAGTINGE VAN U AS LEDE?
Die lede se verwagtinge oortref alle moontlikhede en is glad nie realisties in verhouding met wat ons tans met DMV ervaar nie.
Finansiele agteruitgang / onbeholpenheid het reeds sy merk gelaat en die bydrae van lede met lidmaatskap gelde is steeds n laagtepunt – Slegs 5% van lede het tot dusver ledegelde betaal.
SAKKMVA het ‘n aktiewe ledetal van meer as 2000, maar net die handvol 5% is en bly positief jeens die werksaamhede van die assosiasie.
Afbrekende kritiek weens oningeligtheid en wanopvattings word vinniger versprei as die werlkikheid, slefs al is die lede bewus van DMV se benadering tot SAKKMVA
SAKKMVA - ONS GESKIEDENIS, ONS TROTS
Kom ons raak in wese ernstig jeens SAKKMVA en staan saam en wys ons gee om vir mekaar – lewer u bydrae en verseker die toekoms van die Organisasie.
Steek u hand op en wees beskikbaar om ons mede-veterane te dien sonder voorbehoud.
Vestig n kultuur van samewerking sonder om mekaar af te kraak.
Bou n finansiele buffer om enige onwettige aanslae af te kan weer.
Wees betrokke en positief – om n SAKK soldaat te wees is mos n groot TROTS.
Gebruik u vermoeë om die kultuur van die SAKK soldaat sterker na vore te bring.
WEES POSITIEF EN DRA BY – HOE GERING OOK AL – MAAK N VERSKIL.
GROOT DANK AAN DIE LEDE WAT DEUR ALLES NOG STEEDS N POSITIEWE GESINDHEID EN WIL ERVAAR OM SAKK SE NAAM HOOG TE HOU.
