Veterans Aid Fund SA Study Initiative

Mikado was proud to support Study Aid – VAF SA (The Veterans Aid Fund South Africa) NPC. An exciting new initiative aimed at providing educational support to the children and grandchildren of national service veterans. VAF SA is offering study aid up to the value of R20,000, payable directly to the educational institution, for students pursuing careers in critical trades.

By offering this study aid, they aim to not only honour the legacy of veterans but also empower the next generation to acquire essential skills in fields that are vital to become an entrepreneur. This initiative is open to students whose fathers or grandfathers served in the national service.

ABOVE: It was an honor for our GM, Johnny Griesel, and his wife to attend and for Johnny to present one of the awards.

WHAT IS DENIER?

In stockings and tights, denier (D) is a unit of measurement that indicates the thickness and weight of the yarn used to make the hosiery.

5-20D: ULTRA-SHEER
Extremely thin, transparent, and creates a “barely-there” or airbrushed effect. They will clearly show your skin underneath. Perfect for special occasions, summer fashion or achieving that ‘barely-there’ look.

20-30D: SHEER
Offers a light veil of colour or a “nude makeup” effect while still allowing your skin tone to show through. A perfect balance between transparency, smoothing and strength.

30-50D: SEMI-OPAQUE
Sits perfectly in the middle with a matte finish. Suitable for colder months, school, everyday wear and more durability. Almost complete coverage with a hit of skin underneath.

50-100D: OPAQUE
Thick, solid, and fully covers the skin. High denier tights give a deep, rich colour and have a matte finish. Ideal for colder months and when you need complete coverage.
