Fallen Heroes to Be Remembered
The South African Council of Military Veterans' Organisation and the Pretoria Memorial Services Council are to host a memorial service to commemorate soldiers who died on duty since the First World War.
The memorial service will be held at the Fort Klapperkop in Pretoria on Sunday.
The service will also include remembering all those who were left disabled as a result of their services.
The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) will take part in the service by providing ceremonial sentries and also offering logistical support.
The ceremony is expected to be attended by government dignitaries including the Executive Mayor of Tshwane Father S'mangaliso Mkhatshwa, senior SANDF officials, representatives from foreign countries as well as leaders of the various veterans' organisations.
Family members of the lost heroes will be afforded an opportunity to pay homage to their loved ones by laying wreaths.
