A society for all ages in which:

    * the contribution of older persons is acknowledged;
    * older persons can experience security and personal fulfilment;
    * the rights and dignity of older persons is respected;
    * and older persons have a role to play in development.      

  SAOPF Mission

 The mission of the South African Older Persons Forum (SAOPF) is to identify and articulate the concerns and needs of older persons, as voiced by them, and, in consultation with Government and other role players, to ensure that these needs are addressed in legislation, services and programs.
