The South African Air Force Association
hosts a Benefit Concert for ex-servicemen
The Cape
Town branch of the South African Air Force Association (SAAFA), will
host a benefit concert on Saturday, 4 September 2010, at 7pm in the
City Hall, Cape Town, to raise much-needed funds for economically
disadvantaged ex-servicemen and women of all races,
who live in this area.
Leading
South African artists will perform. The line-up
includes the SA Navy Band, the Cape Town Highlanders Pipe Band, the
Cape Town Male Voice Choir, Beverley Chiat, soprano, Matthew Overmeyer,
tenor and Victor Tichardt, organist. Well known
radio announcer and compère, Lesley McKenzie will be the master
of ceremonies.
Tickets for
this event are on sale at Computicket at R90 per person. Uniformed
Air Force personnel will ensure secure parking on the Grand Parade.
John Heath,
organiser of this event and member of SAAFA, says: “We hope Capetonians
with their customary generosity will support this gala event.
“Funds are
urgently required to support many ex-servicemen and women who defended
this country courageously in the line of duty, and who now face
impoverishment, due to the economic recession.”
