DENOSA congratulates its founding president for being honoured as a Living Legend by City of eThekwini
Media Statement
Monday, 31 August 2015
The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa (DENOSA) is humbled by the honour bestowed on our founding President, Professor Philda Nzimande, who was honoured by the City of eThekwini as one of the Living Legends on Saturday evening, under the category of human rights.
Professor Nzimande is one of the nurse leaders who worked tirelessly and crisscrossed the country during the dark days of apartheid in consulting former homelands nursing associations about the bigger goal of forming a democratic nursing organisation that would be a representative of the aspirations of all nurses in the country. This tireless work led to the formation of DENOSA in December 1996, with her elected as its first president.
She has achieved many accolades as a dedicated leader to humanity, and being honoured for her work by the City of her birth is more special as it is where she rose into a national leader that she become at a later stage.
DENOSA is honoured to have had Professor Nzimande as our leader, and the accolade couldn’t have been granted to a more deserving person than her.
We congratulate her, and wish her good health and longevity as she remains a pride of DENOSA as the organisation.
