TEMBISA HOSPITAL CONTINUES TO ENSURE IMPROVED SERVICES FOR MENTAL HEALTHCARE USERS 

The Gauteng Department of Health has noted the circulation of an old video on social media platforms perpetuating that mental healthcare users at Tembisa Provincial Tertiary Hospital are receiving poor care.

This video was taken in December 2022 at an overflow area in casualty department and it has since resurfaced to mislead the public into believing that the conditions remains the same even after improvements have been made at the facility. 

It is important to mention that currently, there are no mental healthcare patients awaiting beds at Tembisa Hospital. The bed capacity for admission of mental healthcare users has since been increased to ensure that all patients in need of assessment and admission are catered for. Furthermore, the hospital has partnered with Solomon Stix Morewa Hospital to accommodate qualifying mental healthcare users. 

Following the fire incident that occurred in April 2025, the hospital has since re-opened parts of the casualty department on the 29 September 2025, thereby creating more space for initial assessment of mental healthcare users. 

The department condemn the misuse of social media to mislead the public as this may discourage people from coming forward to access the muchneeded care.

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.
