Friday, April 05, 2024 | 630 Views |

The recent improvement of the pension denominator for the military is expected to have a much broader impact in the lives and families of the army personnel. President Mokgweetsi Masisi told senior military officers Wednesday this week at Glen Valley Barracks.

This has been an outstanding issue since 1998, when the government improved pensions for the public service. The President made the remarks officiating the just ended 19th senior officers’ strategic conference held under the theme: ‘Reshaping the organisation for high performance through mindset change specific to enhancing service delivery."

The heartbreaking reports carried elsewhere on this publication of a woman killed in Metsimotlhabe and four family members perishing near Metsimaswaana Bridge are, devastatingly, not isolated incidents.
