BMA to screen travellers at ports amid 13 Mpox cases
BMA to screen travellers at ports amid 13 Mpox cases
The Commissioner of the Border Management Authority (BMA), Dr Michael Masiapato, has announced that port health officials have developed an outbreak preparedness plan to deal with Monkey Pox or Mpox.
In response to the 13 cases that have been confirmed by the National Department of Health, the BMA is implementing screening processes for travellers entering the country at all ports of entry.
Masiapato said at the airports, the first phase of screening occurs when the conveyance operator which is the captain of the aircraft and crew members provide a general declaration of health.
This is a document required to be completed by all conveyance operators where they declare that no travellers have reported or were found to be ill on board. This is in terms of International Health Regulations.
The Commissioner said the process that follows is where travellers are subjected to thermal screening for checking temperature.
This screening of temperature is implemented at land and seaports as well. Should the traveller present with an elevated temperature, such traveller will be isolated and assisted with further screening.
This will involve interviews to establish experiencing of other symptoms.
The BMA Port health officer will also conduct their own general and non-invasive observation of the traveller under investigation.
“BMA Port Health officers are well trained to be vigilant to observe for any lesions and other symptoms during their operations at the ports. In any incident, should there be a case presented to the BMA that would need further referral to a health facility, arrangements have been made with ambulance services from the Department of Health for referral to healthcare facilities,” said Masiapato.
“We are also in close collaboration with the communicable disease facilities in the districts in order to respond swiftly and ensure immediate reporting of any suspected traveller that meets the MPOX disease symptom profile.
“BMA port health officials have also elevated the focus to be on health education and awareness to travellers. At this stage there have been no incidents of MPOX suspicions detected in the ports of entry thus far,” he said.
In line with the communication from the National Department of Health, the authority continues to encourage travellers to continue with chronic conditions medication as people with chronic conditions have presented more severe manifestation of symptoms.
“We also encourage travellers suspecting any symptoms to seek medical care immediately especially those who have a travel history to areas with cases of MPOX,” said Commissioner Masiapato. – SAnews.gov.za

DWS assures enough water supply amidst Lesotho Highlands tunnel closure
DWS assures enough water supply amidst Lesotho Highlands tunnel closure
The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) has reassured Gauteng residents that water supply will not be affected during the closure of the Lesotho Highlands tunnel closure for maintenance.
Speaking at the recent City Meets Business Engagement Session, hosted by the City of Ekurhuleni, the Head of Department in Gauteng, Justice Maluleke, assured the public, including stakeholders in the water sector, that the department has taken all the necessary measures to ensure that water supply will not be affected by the closure of the tunnel, which will commence in October until March 2025.
“The main message is that we are ready for the tunnel closure and the public must not panic [as] we have all the plans in place, and we will be communicating,” Maluleke said.
According to Maluleke, the department is working with all stakeholders from Lesotho, including the Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority (TCTA), Rand Water, City of Tshwane, City of Ekurhuleni, and the City of Johannesburg and entities to ensure that there is no water shortage in the province during the shutdown of the tunnel.
While Maluleke acknowledged that there may be challenges along the way, he expressed confidence in their preparedness to manage any obstacles that may arise.
“In a worst case scenario of shortage of water supply, the Integrated Vaal River System has 13 dams that supply water to the Vaal River system. This is only at the worst-case scenario when the Vaal dam is around 18%, but since the closure will be during the rainy season, we do not anticipate that that is going to happen,” Maluleke said.
Maluleke also reassured businesses that they have nothing to worry about and further advised them to build on-site storage facilities for water, in order to continue with their operations.
Celiwe Ntuli, Scientist Manager from System Operation at the National Department of Water and Sanitation, echoes Maluleke’s statement, stating that the analysis shows no risk of water shortage in the Integrated Vaal River System (IVRS).
During her presentation, Ntuli said Phase 1 of the Lesotho Highlands transfers 700 million cubic meters of water per year into the IVRS, whilst Phase 2 project will add 490 million cubic meters per year into the IVRS.
According to the treaty signed between Lesotho and South Africa in 1996, maintenance is required every five to ten years. The last maintenance was conducted in 2019 where the need for Phase 2 was discovered. – SAnews.gov.za

New KZN Finance MEC shuts down Treasury’s secondary office
New KZN Finance MEC shuts down Treasury's secondary office
Newly appointed KwaZulu-Natal Finance MEC, Francois Rodgers, has started to demonstrate his commitment to ensure effective spending of the budget by closing down the office on the 9th floor of The Marine Building in Durban.
Rodgers said the closure of the leased offices will save the KZN Treasury an estimated R1 million a year, which will be directed to other strategic service delivery needs of the department in supporting the province.
Rodgers said his main priority was to stabilise the finances of KwaZulu-Natal and work with the Treasury team, as well as Members of the Executive Council (EXCO), to ensure that strategic decisions are being taken in order to safeguard the provincial fiscus.
“During my consultation with my executive team in the department, I directed that business cannot continue as usual and we need to streamline operations. In this regard, I have decided to close the Durban office, which served as a secondary office with an annual lease amount of R1 115 786.40, translating to a total value of just over R5 578 000 over five years that we will save,” Rodgers said.
He said his team will operate from the Pietermaritzburg office and the team will be as prescribed by the Ministerial handbook.
“My wish is to enhance the transparency of our decision-making in resource allocation and utilisation, and I am prepared to make tough decisions if we are to demonstrate that we mean business when we say we will stabilise the finances in the province with prudent fiscal management. As KZN Treasury, we must lead by example,” Rodgers said.
The MEC said he was committed to stabilising spending, eliminating irregular expenditure in departments, attracting foreign investment, as well as ensuring accountability and transparency.
Rodgers, who is a member of the Democratic Alliance (DA), is among the provincial Cabinet which includes Members of the Provincial Legislature from the Inkatha Freedom Party, African National Congress (ANC), DA and National Freedom Party (NFP), as announced last week by newly-inaugurated KwaZulu-Natal Premier, Thami Ntuli.
Rodgers took over the reins from the ANC’s Peggy Nkonyeni.
The new provincial Cabinet is as follows:
- Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs MEC: Musa Zondi (IFP).
- Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC: Thulasizwe Buthelezi (IFP).
- Health MEC: Nomagugu Simelane (ANC).
- Social Development MEC: Mbali Shinga (NFP).
- Public Works MEC: Marthinus Meyer (DA).
- Finance MEC: Francois Rodgers (DA).
- Agriculture and Rural Development MEC: Thembeni Madlopha-Mthethwa (IFP).

Ten killed, 24 injured in accident on R42 in Mpumalanga
Ten people have died in a collision involving a minibus taxi and a bus truck on the R42 Road near Delmas.
According to the Mpumalanga Department of Community Safety, Security and Liaison, the accident happened at around 1am on Monday morning.

“It is not known at this stage what caused the crash. The investigation is already underway.”
Mpumalanga MEC for Community Safety, Security and Liaison, Jackie Macie, expressed shock at the horrific crash, urging motorists to be cautious at all times when on the road.
“It is sad to see so many people losing their lives on the road. We are appealing for greater caution on the part of drivers to avoid these tragedies,” said Macie.
