TSHWANE DISTRICT HOSPITAL DIGITAL UPGRADE @KASIBCNEWS 

Gauteng MEC for Health and Wellness, Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko, today unveiled a state-of-the-art Health Technology Centre at Tshwane District Hospital, anchored by three high-performing digital X-ray machines that are already changing how patients experience care. The unveiling was followed by the official launch of the “I Serve With a Smile” campaign, a provincial initiative aimed at improving the patient experience through kindness, empathy, and professional service by healthcare workers. 

Speaking at the event, MEC Nkomo-Ralehoko said the department’s investment in technology and people must always go hand in hand. “These X-ray machines are more than just equipment they represent our commitment to deliver quicker, safer, and more accurate diagnoses. But the real power lies in how we use them, with care, pride, and a smile,” she said. 

The hospital now boasts three new machines, a Digital Ceiling Suspension Radspeed Pro, a Control X Ceiling Suspension System, and a Fujifilm Go Plus Mobile Unit, collectively worth over R7 million. According to Tshwane District Hospital CEO, Ms. Monene Mogashoa, the machines are already having a major impact. “We are seeing an average of 70 patients a day, with shorter waiting times and better-quality images. Staff morale is up, and we have moved from frequent breakdowns to seamless digital diagnostics. 

These machines have improved the patient journey and the quality of care,” she stated. In line with the unveiling, the MEC led a symbolic staff pledging ceremony and badged team members under the “I Serve With a Smile” banner, an initiative that encourages healthcare workers to live the department’s values and make every patient feel valued. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that 70% of medical decisions depend on diagnostic imaging, underscoring the critical role the new technology will play in patient outcomes. 

The MEC applauded the hospital’s progress and reminded all staff that quality care begins with the people who deliver it. “Our goal is to make public health facilities places of healing and humanity where the machines are smart, but the people are even smarter and kinder,”she said. 

The department remains committed to modernising healthcare infrastructure and ensuring that patients receive timely, quality services closer to where they live.

CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT @KASIBCNEWS Please see attached soundbites in English and Afrikaans by Dr Chris Hunsinger MP @KASIBCAUDIO  The DA will request an urgent Parliamentary Portfolio Committee hearing on the ongoing and growing breakdowns of service at South Africa’s major airports. Minister Creecy and the senior management of ACSA must be called to report to committee on the scope of the brewing crisis, and their plans to address it. It is unacceptable that flights are being grounded at South African airports due to failures by entities within the Department of Transport. It simply cannot continue. This week, flights were delayed and diverted at Cape Town International Airport due to a fuel pump failure under the management of Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). Earlier this month, alarming reports revealed that ACSA has fuel supply at OR Tambo International Airport only until the end of January 2025, raising grave concerns about operational stability in February.

SANDF SOLDIERS GUNNED DOWN IN DRC @KASIBCNEWS   Today’s Joint Portfolio Committee meeting on Defence was a crucial moment for the government to be held accountable for the ongoing crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where our troops are once again caught in the crossfire of a foreign conflict. The meeting saw MPs from the DA push the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Angie Motshekga, and the chiefs of the defence force for clarity on key questions. The DA’s MPs demanded to know where the advice for the SANDF deployment came from, who gave that advice, and what oversight measures were in place to ensure the safety and readiness of our troops. Additionally, they asked where the counterintelligence operations were, given the precise coordination and mortar fire of M23 rebels—indicating that the attack was meticulously planned over a number of weeks. Instead of providing the answers South Africans deserve, the Minister and President continue to stonewall and...
