The National Council for Persons with Physical Disability South Africa (NCPPDSA) was established on 9 October 1939 under the name of the National Council for the Care of Cripples in South Africa by four (4) independent service organizations that felt the need for a coordinating body. Seven (7) independent Provincial Associations and four (4) Regional Associations from the remaining two (2) of the nine (9) Provinces of the country, now constitute the Council. These eleven (11) organizations have ninety (90) independent Branches of which at least half are concentrated in Gauteng and the Western Cape Provinces.
The vision of the council is to live in a society where people with physical disabilities are enabled to exercise their full rights as citizens and the incidence of physical disabilities is minimized.
