High 5 – we're 65!
This year marks a milestone in Tafta’s history – we’re commemorating 65 years as a vital care partner and voice for older people in Durban.
With the ongoing support of our community, we’ll continue serving older people into the future. Thank you to all who make our work possible ... our Council Members, staff, care partners, donors, media, partner and affiliated organisations in the sector, government and the general public.
Please join us as we celebrate this milestone with commemorative events, activities and programmes throughout the year. Follow us on social media as we share some of the highlights of our organisation’s history and details of special events. Let’s make 2023 a year when all older persons enjoy a life worth living.
