Social Development Deputy Minister Ganief Hendricks has paid tribute to the elders of South Africa during a visit to the Laudium Old Age Home.
Being at the home reminded the deputy minister of the teaching that a society or a nation is judged by how it treats its elders.
“Your compassion and tireless service, which you demonstrated over the decades when you socialised and mingled among our rainbow nation, are the notable threads that hold our social fabric together,” he told the residents.
