The CMVO is the short name for the Council of Military Veterans Organizations which in essence is a management body for all the recognised military veterans’ organisations of the UDF/SADF/SANDF military veterans. The CMVO is represented by military veterans from the statutory forces, some who were very high-ranking while still in active services, and who now make their time available on a voluntee
r basis to influence and lobby the government to provide benefits to our needy military veterans, including former National Servicemen, Commandos, Citizen Force and PF’s
The objects for which the CMVO is established are as follows:
• To protect and promote the common interests of organisations as defined in the Constitution, which are members of the Council.
• To confer and co-operate with, and promote unity among, all military veterans' organisations.
• To assist in the promotion of the welfare and interests of all military veterans and their dependants and to co-ordinate representations made from time to time on their behalf.
• To assist in the promotion of the welfare and interests of all serving members of the South African Defence Forces and their dependants.
• To admit national and regional organisations to either full or associate membership on such terms and conditions as may from time to time be determined by the Council.
