Johannesburg Retired Teachers Association
Welcome to JORETA, the Johannesburg Retired Teachers Association. Founded in 1989 as the Johannesburg Retired African Teachers Association (JORATA), we have a rich history that spans over three decades. Our journey began with just 20 members and 5 apologies, and today, we have grown into a thriving community of retired educators.
At JORETA, we are dedicated to celebrating the incredible contributions of retired teachers in Johannesburg. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide a supportive network where retired teachers can connect, share, and thrive. We believe that the legacy of educators is worth preserving and that their wisdom and experience can continue to inspire future generations.
