The High Court is set to hear an application to review the Veterans Act following an application by Willem Beukes and former members of the South West African Territorial Force (SWATF) for alleged discrimination.

Former SWATF and Koevoet soldiers will launch fresh investigations into their demand for pension pay-outs with Sanlam South Africa.

This comes after years of protests that pensions were deducted by Sanlam Namibia from the former soldiers' salaries before independence.
