MAKEKASIGREAT ©®™ @ KASIBC_AFRICA   ONLINE EDITOR @KASIBC_AFRICA Tembisa Hospital “Prayer Day” Event  The Office of the Gauteng Premier has become aware of a poster circulating on social media and other platforms promoting a "Prayer Day" for Tembisa Hospital scheduled for 09 October 2025.  This poster incorrectly features a picture of Premier Panyaza Lesufi, implying his endorsement and attendance.
