The SOUTH
AFRICAN AIR FORCE ASSOCIATION will, through the
participation of it’s members.
- Maintain and foster friendship and
CAMARADERIE among
all persons eligible for membership.
- Provide support and general
WELL BEING for
members requiring assistance.
- Perpetuate the memory of and
COMMEMORATE those
who have given their lives in the service of their
country.

- Promote the INTERESTS,
IMAGE and
HERITAGE of the South African Air Force
Association, the South African Air Force, and their
members.
The SOUTH AFRICAN AIR FORCE
ASSOCIATION is an all-ranks meeting place,
founded in 1945. This eminently worthy cause not only
recreates in a light-hearted atmosphere the togetherness
of its aviation-minded members, but also enjoins them to
share responsibility for the needs of less fortunate
ex-SAAF types and their
spouses. Furthermore, the SAAFA
actively promotes the image of the
SAAF and its members.
Indeed, the two-fold activity of having fun while
raising funds continues to produce excellent results
over the years. Funds raised thus are distributed via
the Association’s Care of the Aged programme.
All persons who serve in, or once served in the
SAAF (PF or CF), or in any
other Allied Air Force, are eligible to join this unique
fraternity.
SAAFA branches are
active all over Southern Africa: Bloemfontein, Cape Town,
Durban, East Rand (Benoni), Johannesburg, Kimberley, Lower
South Coast (Margate), Lowveld (Hoedspruit), Namibia
(Windhoek), Outeniqua (George/Knysna), Pietermaritzburg,
Port Alfred, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria, SA Korean War
Veterans Association, Stilfontein, Weskus (Langebaan/Vredenburg)
and West Rand (Krugersdorp).
Membership brings participation in many activities --
enjoying life wining and dining, video shows, raffles, sport
events, special outings, regular luncheons at which
distinguished persons from industry and commerce address the
gathering and chat afterwards. How about golf, horse racing,
bowls and “Fly-in-Braai” days and many more interesting
events.
Members are entitled to wear the distinctive
SAAFA tie, blazer badge and
other insignia, and to participate in all
SAAFA activities at Branch
level. They are also encouraged to participate in the
on-going worthwhile projects of the Association.
Less fortunate SAAFA
members and their dependents are being assisted in their
well being. An ever-increasing percentage of funds raised
are being channelled towards the Care of the Aged programme.
A national newsletter is distributed regularly
free-of-charge, while several branches send out their own
newsletters. |
