Pasiënte se regte word benadeel by Bophelong hospitaal a.g.v. infrastruktuur uitdagings – nie-nakoming van aanvaarbare standaarde en norme kan lei tot die uitbreek van siektes omdat infeksiebeheer nie behoorlik toegepas word

Verstopte dreine, lekkende dakke, stukkende lugversorging en te min matrasse – Dis maar van die uitdagings by die Bophelong psigiatriese hospitaal naby Mahikeng wat in 2016 oopgemaak het en waaraan sowat R450 miljoen reeds bestee is.

Dr. Job Mokgoro, Noordwes se premier, was ná ’n besoek verlede Woensdag aan die hospitaal “geskok” oor die omstandighede daar, het sy woordvoerder, Vuyisele Ngesi, gesê. Die premier is veral bekommerd dat die nie-nakoming van aanvaarbare standaarde en norme onvermydelik sal lei tot die uitbreek van siektes omdat infeksiebeheer nie behoorlik toegepas word nie.

“Personeel se moraal en pasiënte se regte word benadeel omdat die personeel op infrastruktuur-uitdagings fokus pleks van al hul aandag aan die pasiënte te gee,” sê Mokgoro.

Nóg probleme by die hospitaal sluit in dat die wassery glad nie funksioneer nie weens gebrekkige infrastruktuur. Daar is ook nie warm water nie omdat die sonkrag- en w

Gauteng-gesondheid R5 mjd. in die rooi en sal waarskynlik ’n reddingsboei moet kry, nogtans ploeg ANC regering voort met nuwe gesondheidsplan alhoewel hy nou alreeds nie die mas kan opkom nie

Posted on 04/23/2019 Leave a comment

Die Gautengse departement van gesondheid sal waarskynlik ’n reddingsboei moet kry, waarsku die DA.

Jack Bloom, DA-woordvoerder oor gesondheid in Gauteng, sê dr. Gwen Ramokgopa, Gautengse LUR vir gesondheid, het verlede week bevestig die departement is sowat R5 miljard in die rooi.

Bloom het haar op ’n vergadering van die Gautengse wetgewer se gesondheidskomitee oor die departement se skuldlas uitgevra. Die departement het R1 miljard oorbestee en sy skuldlas staan op R4 miljard, sê die DA in ’n verklaring.

Thabo Masebe, woordvoerder van die Gautengse regering, erken “daar is probleme by die departement”.

“Ek verseker jou egter dat die regering wel die probleem hanteer. Ons gee ons volle aandag hieraan.”

Die stabilisering van die departement is volgens hom nie net vir die provinsiale regering ’n topprioriteit nie, maar ook vir dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, minister van gesondheid, en selfs vir pres. Cyril Ramaphosa.

Old SA flag is not a symbol of a crime against humanity and to ban it will infringe South Africans’ right to freedom of expression

Posted on 04/23/2019 Leave a comment

The Nelson Mandela Foundation announced on Monday that its case regarding the old South African flag for hate speech, unfair discrimination and harassment would be heard in the Equity Court in April.

The case will be heard during the 29th and 30th of April. This comes after the foundation approached the court last March with the request to declare the use and exhibition of the old South African flag for hate speech, unfair discrimination and harassment based on race.

In addition, it said during a statement that it was time to admit that the old South African flag is a symbol of a crime against humanity and that the exhibition is humiliating black South Africans and promoting crime.

The statement supports the following: “It is important that the Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Promotion Act be used as a tool to discourage such behavior.”

According to the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the civil rights organization, AfriForu

“Whites must work for blacks,” said Malema after addressing large crowd after court appearance

Posted on 04/23/2019 Leave a comment

EFF leader Julius Malema told EFF supporters outside the Newcastle Magistrate’s Court in KwaZulu-Natal on Monday that he was craving for white people to work for black people.

Maleme briefly appeared in court on Monday on charges relating to the violation of the 1956 Riot Laws Act. He was charged with encouraging EFF members to illegally occupy open ground. Malema is accused of incitement.

This speech follows after the EFF requested its members gather outside the court where Malema would appear. Malema therefore repeatedly mentioned that he is not afraid to go to jail if it means he must fight for his country.

According to bystanders, Malema’s statements were welcomed with a loud applause. “I don’t want black people to work for white people. I want you to work for yourselves; white people must work for you. This will be true freedom. You have to teach them how to carry babies on their backs. They must feel what our parents fe

It seems likely that rolling petrol price increases, last experienced in the latter half of 2018, are expected to make a dubious return this year – Petrol price increase in March to be higher than first expected

Posted on 04/23/2019 Leave a comment

The petrol price increase in March is expected to shock South Africans, with a hefty hike eclipsing original estimates.

It seems likely that rolling petrol price increases, last experienced in the latter half of 2018, are expected to make a dubious return this year – starting next month. While first estimates, released by the Central Energy Fund (CEF) earlier in the month, proposed a hike of 43 cents per litre for petrol and 60 cents per litre for diesel, recent revelations paint a grim picture for South Africans.

Petrol price increase in March
The Automobile Association (AA) of South Africa noted that a steady increase in international oil prices, coupled with a weakening rand – both experienced after the first estimate tabled by the CEF – had since altered original evaluations. The Energy Department has echoed the AA’s sentiments – pointing to mooted increases which almost double first guesses.

According to the Energy Departmen

ANC regime certainly did not do proper planning – Multi-million rand project undertaken by China in Northern Transvaal is being put on hold due to water shortage, compromising thousands of jobs

Posted on 04/23/2019 Leave a comment

The planned economic investment in the Far North Transvaal undertaken by China may be affected by a severe shortage of water.

This project, which will amount to R150 billion, will provide thousands of jobs, but may be delayed due to a severe shortage of water.

The area where the project is in the identified zone requires a total of 123 million cubic meters of water per year for the Musina area.

Mining operations, together with the establishment of a power station, various agricultural crop plantations, and a silicone plant form part of the project, which provides for approximately 21,000 jobs.

However, experts argue that the project can only be sustainable if provision is made in time for storage dams for enough water.

Gravy train was driven by many high-ranking officials in SA thanks to Bosasa – Pretoria’s main magistrate silent on allegations that he benefited from security upgrades worth R 200,000

Posted on 04/23/2019 Leave a comment

Pretoria’s main magistrate, Desmond Nair, has been silent for weeks after allegations were made that he benefited from the security upgrade of his home, thanks to Bosasa.

The Magistrate Commission, which met on February 22, decided to give the suspicious magistrate the opportunity to respond to the allegations that he had made improvements of about R200,000 in security equipment at his home with Bosasa’s “help .

A Bosasa official, Richard le Roux, testified before the Zondo Commission, but the chief magistrate has not yet spoken a word about the allegation.

#Pay Back the Money – Gupta brothers still owe Sun City money after extravagant marriage 6 years ago – unclear how much money is outstanding from the estimated R100 million wedding

Posted on 04/23/2019 Leave a comment

The Gupta brothers still owe money to Sun City after six years for the greatest wedding extravaganza of the century.

However, Sun City spokesman Zoleka Skweyiya says it is not as much as the media speculates.

It is unclear how much money is outstanding from the estimated R100 million wedding, and the possibility of recovery does not seem to be good.

#BlackPrivilege, university students do not really want to learn, but rather create unrest and make campuses ungovernable – Walter Sisulu University campus closed after chaos broke out

Posted on 04/23/2019 Leave a comment

All hell broke loose at the Butterworth campus of Walter Sisulu University.

Students clashed with security personnel and police, which led to the campus being closed for an indefinite period.

Hundreds of students are out of town and will probably have to return to their parents’ homes.

A university spokesman apparently said the student left the impression that they were not really there to acquire and study knowledge, but rather to create unrest and make the campus ungovernable.

Former Mineral Resources Minister was dismissed by the ANC regime so that Gupta candidate could fill the post to make corruption and state capture possible at Eskom

Posted on 04/23/2019 Leave a comment

The Guptas have been helped to buy the Optimum mine through a pre-payment of R659m by Eskom, said Glencore’s former head Clinton Ephron.

Eskom’s fingers were further in the negotiations by fining Optimum Coal with R2.1bn for so-called low-grade coal supply.

This forced Optimum Coal to go into business rescue. The rumours are that Eskom has not charged any fines against Tegeta’s Brakfontein mine for their low-grade coal supply.

Ngoako Ramatlhodi was dismissed as Minister of Mining and replaced the Gupta candidate Mosebenzi Zwani.
