Musina launches senior advisory forum

 

The Musina Municipality recently launched a senior citizens advisory forum during a meeting at the Nancefield municipal board room.

The Senior Citizens Advisory Forum will promote the well-being of older persons in Musina. The forum will also make recommendations to the municipality on the issues that affect older persons. “The forum will also advise the municipality on all matters relating to the development and administration of programmes involving senior citizens,” said Mayor Mihloti Ramoyada during the launch.

She added that the the launch of the forum was part of her outreach programme for strengthening governance within the Musina municipal area. 

“I felt it was important to strengthen the relationship with senior citizens, because this group is a source of inspiration to us all. They are important members of our community. They have contributed to the history of our community and our families in many ways.”

She also sent a strong warning to community members who abuse senior citizens and asked members of the community to report the abuse of elderly people.

Senior citizens welcomed the launch of the forum. 

Mesdames Lydia Maphaha and Johannah Dhliwayo said that they appreciated a well-thought plan to form a platform through which the elderly can air their views and guide the municipality on issues of service delivery.
