Deaf Federation of South Africa (DEAFSA)

AssociationFinder

The Deaf Federation of South Africa promotes deaf education, the development of South African Sign Language and South African sign language interpreters, provincial development, and early intervention. DeafSA, formerly known as the South Africa National Council for the Deaf (SANCD), was founded in 1929, as a result of the need to provide services to the Deaf community on a national level. DeafSA is registered in terms of the Non Profit Organisations Act. Since 1994 DeafSA has been embarking on the transformation process alongside many other South African organisations in this new era of democracy. One of the highlights of this transformation was the change in the name of the organisation from SANCD to DeafSA, as well as the constitutional change, which resulted in the Deaf majority members serving on all the organisation’s management structures. This transformation is one of the biggest milestones in the history of DeafSA, as it meant that the philosophy of self-representation was achieved and it enabled DeafSA to be accepted as an ordinary member of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD).

The National Clothing Retail Federation of South Africa represents the interests of retailers who are the favoured destinations of millions of men, women and children when choosing their clothing, footwear, fashion accessories, cosmetics and related items. In meeting consumer needs in a highly competitive market, federation members enjoy annual sales of more than R50 billion. Most of that revenue in turn is paid to suppliers for goods and services, to employees in salaries and retirement funding, and to government in taxes, thus helping to fund priority needs in housing, health care and education. As consistent creators of direct and indirect employment, members employ more than 80 000 people in their businesses. In keeping with the highly competitive nature of the sector, the constitution of the federation specifically provides that the principle of competition shall not be compromised through its activities.
