The Viscount Team have great pleasure in announcing that the Board of Directors of the Voortrekker Monument Heritage Site have unanimously approved the erection of Viscount Memorial Plaques in the Memorial Gardens for the 107 victims murdered by terrorists in the Viscount disasters of 1978 and 1979 respectively.

The granite plaques will be engraved and erected on the site as agreed with the Heritage Foundation by not later than the end of March 2012, to be ready for the annual SADF commemoration service on 3 June 2012, and for the unveiling of the commemorative plaques and commemoration service on 3rd September 2012.

All costs involved are covered by our undertaking to raise the necessary funds and to pay this over in a lump sum to the Voortrekker Monument in due course.
