SASSA gold card swop deadline extended to end of April 2025
SASSA gold card swop deadline extended to end of April 2025
The deadline for South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) grant beneficiaries to swop their SASSA gold cards for the new Postbank cards has been extended to 30 April 2025.
“The deadline for SASSA beneficiaries to swop their SASSA gold card for the Postbank black card has been extended to 30th April 2025 to allow SASSA and the Department of Social Development to complete the migration of the outstanding beneficiaries,” Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said on Thursday.
The Minister was briefing media following Cabinet’s meeting on Wednesday.
At the briefing in Pretoria, Ntshavheni said Cabinet received an update on the migration of SASSA grant beneficiaries to the new and secure Postbank black card.
“The Postbank has met eight of the nine requirements of the South African Reserve Bank for paying social grants, and the last outstanding item being the physical replacement of the cards,” she said.
Government had initially set the deadline for the transition to the new cards to 28 February after which a second extension was set for 20 March 2025.
The new Postbank black cards can be obtained at various retailers, including Checkers, Shoprite, Pick n Pay, Usave, and Boxer. To receive a new card, beneficiaries need to present a valid South African ID or a temporary ID.
Postbank has also made it easy for beneficiaries to locate the nearest place in every province where they can collect their Postbank Black Cards. Beneficiaries can use their cellphones to:
• Dial: *120*355#
• To continue, reply by pressing number: 1
• Reply with the number representing the province you live in.
The new Postbank black cards offer several benefits, including improved security features, one free card replacement per year, three free withdrawals in stores per month, and one free monthly statement over the counter. – SAnews.gov.za

President commends progress made in provision of water and sanitation
President Cyril Ramaphosa has commended the Department of Water and Sanitation for its ongoing efforts to improve water and sanitation access in the country.
Delivering the keynote address at the Water and Sanitation Indaba currently underway at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, Gauteng, the President highlighted that through the department’s efforts, progress has been made towards meeting the minimum standards for the provision of water and sanitation services, and in addressing connection backlogs.
“As a country we can be proud of the progress we have made in fulfilling this basic right of our people since the advent of democracy. The National Water Act of 1998 was the key legislative enabler to facilitate access to adequate water and sanitation for our people.
“The results of Census 2022 point to our ongoing progress since the National Water Act was signed into law. In 2022 access to clean water stood at 88.5 %, and access to improved sanitation stood at 80.7 %,” the President said on Thursday.
The President highlighted an increase in water infrastructure build, and this includes the National Infrastructure Fund which has to date, secured R23 billion for seven large water infrastructure projects, Phase 2 of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP) which is currently underway, as well as work on the uMkhomazi Dam.
Preparations are also underway for the construction of the Ntabelanga Dam on the uMzimvubu River.
The President noted a number of other water infrastructure projects earmarked for blended financing through the Infrastructure Fund, including the Polihali Dam that will feed 490 million cubic meters of water a year from the Lesotho Highlands into the Vaal River System.
Held under the theme: “Water Security and Provision”, the Indaba set for Thursday and Friday, underscores government’s ongoing commitment to tackling South Africa’s water security challenges and ensuring reliable and sustainable water and sanitation services for all citizens.
With its focus on water security and provision, the two-day gathering takes place during National Water Month and Human Rights Month, a significant period that underpins the importance of water as a fundamental human right and a critical resource for socio-economic development.
The timing of the gathering also underscores the urgency of addressing water and sanitation challenges to uphold the dignity and well-being of all South Africans.
Clean water and sanitation for all
While progress has been made, President Ramaphosa acknowledged that the country still has a long way to go towards achieving clean water and sanitation for all, as encapsulated in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.
“Last year’s Water Summit identified ageing and poorly maintained infrastructure, vandalism of water infrastructure, illegal connections, and organised crime in the water sector as some of the challenges facing service delivery in this sector.
“At a local government level, financial mismanagement, insufficient revenue collection systems and high levels of physical water losses are compounding existing service delivery problems. These challenges have been consistently reflected in reports of the Municipal Strategic Self-Assessment, Stats SA, the Auditor-General and others,” the President explained.
With this dire state of affairs, he added that the country has seen declining private sector investment in water infrastructure, “a situation that is only now improving”.
By equal measure, he said the municipalities have not reinvested the revenue they earn from the provision of services to the upkeep of key water infrastructure.
“A number of water boards have been or are the subject of probes by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) for corruption and fraud. These are problems impacting a country with a growing population, which is one of the most water-scarce countries in the world,” the President said. – SAnews.gov.za

A Landmark Step for Lesotho
In a significant stride towards bolstering its pandemic preparedness and response capabilities, Lesotho convened its inaugural National Steering Committee (NSC) meeting for the Pandemic Fund Southern Africa Multicountry Project. This crucial gathering, held in Maseru, marked a pivotal moment in the nation's efforts to safeguard its population against future health crises.
Lesotho, a recipient country in the second round of the Pandemic Fund's regional proposal alongside Botswana, Madagascar, Mozambique, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, will benefit from resources aimed at strengthening One Health Disease Surveillance and Response. This initiative, focused on combating disease outbreaks, will enhance Lesotho's infrastructure for pandemic/epidemic preparedness and response. The NSC, a vital component for the implementation of the fund, will serve as the guiding force to ensure the effective utilization of these funds for maximum impact.
The meeting was presided over by the Principal Secretary of the Ministry of Health, Mrs. Moliehi Maneo Ntene, and co-chaired by the WHO Representative, Dr. Innocent Nuwagira. The session drew a diverse and influential assembly, including head of mission from the World Health Organization (WHO) and representation from the World Bank and UNICEF. Principal Secretaries from key ministries, including Health, Agriculture, Finance, Environment, Trade, Education, Gender and Social Development, and Disaster Management Authority, were also in attendance as members of the NSC.
This broad representation underscores the cross-sectoral nature of pandemic preparedness, recognizing that effective responses require a unified, multi-faceted approach.
In her opening remarks, Mrs. Ntene acknowledged Lesotho's vulnerabilities and the need to strengthen its health systems. “Recognizing our vulnerabilities in emergency prevention, preparedness, and response, we seized the opportunity to apply for funding through the Pandemic Fund. The successful multi-country initiative allows us to strategically address our gaps. With this newly formed, multi-sectoral steering committee, we are confident in our ability to strengthen our health systems and build a more resilient Lesotho, ensuring the health security of our people,” said Mrs. Moliehi Maneo Ntene, Principal Secretary, Ministry of Health
WHO Representative Dr. Innocent Nuwagira echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of strong national leadership and coordinated action. “The establishment of this National Steering Committee signifies Lesotho's proactive commitment to safeguarding its population. As WHO, we are committed to working alongside the government and partners, ensuring the Pandemic Fund's resources are strategically deployed to build a resilient and robust health system capable of effectively responding to pandemic threats,” reflected Dr. Innocent Nuwagira, WHO Representative in Lesotho.
A key focus of the meeting was to establish and define the functions of the NSC. Participants meticulously reviewed and endorsed the Terms of Reference (TORs), laying a solid foundation for the committee's operational framework. This crucial step ensures clarity and accountability in the NSC's role, facilitating efficient decision-making and implementation. Additionally, the meeting provided an opportunity to review and endorse the projects microplan presented by the Pandemic Fund task team. The plan outlined strategic interventions in critical areas such as early warning and disease surveillance, laboratory capacity, and workforce capacity through a One Health approach. These focus areas are essential for strengthening Lesotho's ability to prevent, detect and respond to future pandemics.
The Pandemic Fund aims to empower countries like Lesotho to build resilient health systems by investing in infrastructure, training healthcare professionals, and fostering inter-agency collaboration. The One Health approach recognizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health - will enable a more holistic and proactive response to emerging threats. As Lesotho embarks on this critical phase of implementing the Pandemic Fund's initiative, the inaugural NSC meeting demonstrates the nation's dedication to strengthening its health security, through collaborative efforts and strategic planning, for a safer and more resilient future for Basotho.

Call for national turnaround plan on water security
Call for national turnaround plan on water security
The need for an urgent and high-level national turnaround plan on water security that is aligned to the Government of National Unity’s Medium-Term Development Plan 2025 to 2029, has been underscored by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The President made the call during the Water and Sanitation Indaba, currently underway at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, Gauteng.
“What is needed is an urgent and high-level national turnaround plan on water security that is firstly aligned to the Government of National Unity’s Medium-Term Development Plan 2025 to 2029, and secondly, that harnesses the momentum of the reforms in the sector," said the President.
Delivering his keynote address at the opening of the two-day Indaba on Thursday, President Ramaphosa noted that Operation Vulindela has prioritised reforms in the water sector to improve water quality, to catalyse investment in the construction and maintenance of water infrastructure and strengthen regulation in the sector.
“Under the sixth administration we reinstated the drop water quality monitoring system as an important incentive. These reports are particularly important in area where water resources are key to the tourism, agriculture, and other sectors,” President Ramaphosa said.
As part of the structural reform process in the water sector, the President said government has been able to significantly reduce the turnaround time for the issuing of water use licenses, with 75% of applications being currently processed within 90 days.
“An additional 110 technical and scientific staff have been hired to support further process improvements. Last year we published the Raw Water Pricing Strategy as part of promoting efficient water management, and following a process initiated in 2022 under Operation Vulindlela.
“This will be key to promoting transparency around how raw water is priced in the country and will contribute towards instilling business and investor confidence. Creating an enabling legal and regulatory framework for water stewardship is a priority,” he said.
Interventions
The President added that through the Water Services Amendment Bill the country will introduce a licensing system for water service providers and remove licenses where providers do not meet the standards for quality drinking water.
He added that by next year government hopes to finalise the establishment of the National Water Resource Infrastructure Agency, “one of the most significant reforms coming to the sector to date.”
“This new agency will bring strategic alignment, consistency and accountability to the various institutional arrangements for water stewardship that have to date proven to be less than ideal,” he said.
The President also highlighted a number of strategic interventions implemented to enhance the delivery of water services in municipalities and support them to address their water and sanitation challenges.
Among the interventions include sustained progress in the Presidential eThekwini Working Group in KwaZulu-Natal.
He said the ongoing oversight work of the Presidential Water Task Team will augment these efforts.
Collaboration
President Ramaphosa also emphasised that resolving the country’s water and sanitation challenges necessitates deepened collaboration between all stakeholders in the water resources management ecosystem.
He underscored a need for greater cooperation between national and provincial government, including the water resource management entities, and the private sector to support the turnaround in water stewardship.
“Much of this focus must be on supporting service delivery at local government level, where it matters most. Structural reforms in the water sector, as vital as they are, cannot be effectively implemented without local government being strengthened.
“Municipalities are not effectively leveraging the likes of the Urban Settlements Development Grant, Municipal Infrastructure Grant, and other ring-fenced financial resources to improve the provision of these services in their localities. For its part, local government leadership needs to prioritise turnaround strategies for their respective Water Services Authorities.
“This Indaba must not become an exercise of problem-diagnosing: the challenges are well-known. What is needed is course correction - and comprehensive plan that will expand access to water and sanitation services, improve the quality of water and sanitation infrastructure, and bring stability and good governance to all the entities involved in South Africa’s water stewardship,” the President said. – SAnews.gov.za

2nd Annual Sub-Saharan Africa Safer Internet Summit in Cape Town
TikTok (www.TikTok.com) hosted its second Annual Africa Safer Internet Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, bringing together government officials, regulators, and industry leaders from across Sub-Saharan Africa. Delegates from South Africa, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, and other countries convened to discuss critical issues on online safety, content moderation, and digital policy development.
The Summit underscores TikTok's ongoing efforts to prioritise user safety in Africa while fostering an open dialogue with policymakers to shape robust frameworks that protect users' rights while encouraging innovation and creativity in the digital space.
Government and Industry Leaders Discuss Digital Safety
The Summit was officially opened by South Africa's Hon. Solly Malatsi, Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, who highlighted the importance of collaboration among governments, technology platforms, and communities to foster a safer digital ecosystem.
Helena Lersch, TikTok's Vice President for Public Policy, in her remarks, reaffirmed the platform's commitment to user safety and the role of partnerships in creating a secure digital environment.
“Billions of people come to TikTok every day to create, share and connect and we're continually evolving our policies and practices to safeguard our platform so our community can discover and do what they love. This summit underscores the importance of collaboration between industry leaders and regulators in shaping a digital ecosystem that is both innovative and secure," said Lersch.
Fortune Mgwili-Sibanda, Director of Public Policy & Government Relations for Sub-Saharan Africa, further emphasised the significance of collective efforts in digital safety, stating that the Summit serves as a valuable platform for sharing insights, strengthening collaboration, and ensuring that African users, particularly young people, are protected online.
Content Moderation in Africa
During the summit, TikTok reported a significant upward trend in its content removal rate across Sub-Saharan Africa, with data showing a 249.81% increase in content removals from the second quarter of 2023 to the fourth quarter of 2024. This improvement aligns with TikTok's global standards for content moderation and community guidelines enforcement. TikTok's Community Guidelines Enforcement Reports (https://apo-opa.co/3QMZNQH) reflect the platform's continued investment in automated moderation technology, alongside human safety experts that enables the detection and removal of harmful content before it reaches users. Globally, between July and September 2024, TikTok removed more than 147 million videos, of which 118 million were detected and removed automatically using these technologies.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, TikTok removed over 7.5 million videos in Q3 2024, rising to more than 8 million in Q4 2024—an increase of 14.06% quarter-on-quarter. Notably, 99.5% of these videos were removed before any user reports, underscoring TikTok's commitment to proactive moderation and swift action.
A similar trend was observed in North Africa, where TikTok removed over 7 million videos in both Q3 and Q4 of 2024. This represented an 8.70% increase in removals between the quarters, with 99.3% of these takedowns also occurring before user reports.
These figures highlight TikTok's ongoing efforts to provide a safe and positive online environment through robust, technology-enabled content moderation systems.
#SaferTogether - Driving Safer Digital Engagement
As part of its broader commitment to digital safety and education, TikTok is expanding its efforts across Africa through strategic partnerships and training programs that promote digital literacy, safety awareness, and responsible content creation.
At the forefront of these efforts is TikTok's flagship #SaferTogether campaign, which has achieved notable milestones since its launch in 2022.
In Kenya, the initiative, run in partnership with Eveminet (https://apo-opa.co/3Y8mHG7), a youth online protection organisation, has reached over 406,000 participants through in-person workshops across the country. These sessions provided communities with the knowledge and tools needed for responsible online engagement, particularly among students, teachers, and parents.
By working closely with civil society organisations, educators, and government agencies, TikTok continues to integrate proactive safety measures into its platform governance, creating safer digital environments for young users.
In Nigeria, TikTok launched Phase 2 of the #SaferTogether campaign in partnership with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) (https://apo-opa.co/3FFyx4d) and Data Science Nigeria (DSN) (https://apo-opa.co/3QNqzbJ). Building on the success of Phase 1, which educated parents in major cities such as Abuja, Lagos, and Kano on TikTok's safety features and mental well-being tools, the second phase aims to reach additional states and expand safety awareness among parents, teachers, and guardians.
Since September 2024, TikTok has also partnered with local creators across Sub-Saharan Africa to raise awareness about its safety features and Community Guidelines.
In Egypt, TikTok signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Journalists Syndicate to boost digital awareness, media literacy, and the detection of misinformation and online privacy risks. As part of this partnership, TikTok and the Syndicate hosted a one-day workshop equipping journalists and media professionals with the skills to navigate digital technologies safely and effectively. This collaboration underscores TikTok's ongoing commitment to empowering media professionals and supporting a more informed and digitally literate society.
Shaping the Future of Digital Safety in Africa - Global Youth Council
TikTok is also making a significant step in amplifying youth voices by expanding its Global Youth Council (https://apo-opa.co/4j2OWxZ) for 2025, further strengthening African representation. Originally launched in 2023 to empower young users and shape platform policies, the Global Youth Council has now nearly doubled in size, featuring 28 members from 15 countries. New representatives from Nigeria, Cameroon, Canada, Qatar, and Australia will join returning members from Brazil, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, the UK, and the US for a second term. The Youth Council plays an important role in shaping TikTok's safety, well-being, and inclusivity policies, ensuring that young users have a voice in the platform's continued evolution.
The Safer Internet Summit serves as an essential forum for best practice sharing between industry leaders and policymakers. By fostering collaboration, TikTok aims to ensure that digital spaces remain safe, inclusive, and conducive to creativity while balancing the need for effective governance and innovation.
"We value forums such as TikTok's Safer Internet Summit, which bring policymakers into one room for a shared purpose: keeping internet users safe. We are incredibly proud to be a partner of TikTok's #SaferTogether campaign. This collaboration not only underscores our shared commitment to fostering a safer online environment, but also opens new avenues for innovation and collaboration that will enable us to scale our efforts effectively for a safer internet for all.." — Emmanuel Edet - Acting Director, Regulation and Compliance NITDA

Toxic Stakeholder Relations at CUT Collapses Higher Education Oversight
The Portfolio Committee on Higher Education has suspended planned discussions with the Central University of Technology (CUT) in Bloemfontein due to a breakdown in trust among senior management, unions, the Institutional Forum (IF) and the Student Representative Council (SRC). The decision follows an oversight visit that exposed severe governance failures, administrative disfunction and a campus environment that is not conducive to teaching and learning
CUT stakeholders unanimously decried the state of the institution during the Portfolio Committee on Higher Education's oversight visit. The IF, organised labour and the SRC said the CUT has serious administrative and governance issues, which is affecting staff morale and creating an environment that is not conducive to teaching and learning. University stakeholders also told the committee that the CUT registration process left much to be desired – many students could have been admitted but lost the opportunity due to the failure of IT systems.
Some of the allegations levelled against university leaders was that that the university has a serious shortage of academic staff members and the academic programmes is being run by part-time lecturers. In one faculty, for example, there are more part-time lecturers than full-time academic staff. The committee further said it is discouraging to note that CUT does not have an officially recognised SRC despite the fact that elections were held in August last year.
The committee Chairperson, Mr Tebogo Letsie, said that although the committee has postponed immediate engagement with CUT, it plans to revisit the university's challenges in the committee's programme next term. “We will schedule a dedicated hearing to dissect the root causes of this distrust. CUT's leadership must account for why stakeholder relations have deteriorated to this extent and how they intend to rebuild academic and operational stability,” added Mr Letsie.
Members of the committee were deeply concerned that the CUT did not have a recognised SRC. The committee cautioned against a growing practice in the sector where senior management in post-school education used the institution's resources to go after workers and students in the courts.

Motsoaledi urges global action to address health funding gaps
Motsoaledi urges global action to address health funding gaps
Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi has reiterated the importance of nations reallocating resources towards health, strengthening global health partnerships, and exploring innovative financing mechanisms to address funding gaps.
The Minister was delivering the keynote address at the second meeting of the G20 Health Working Group today in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal.
The Minister used the platform to highlight South Africa’s commitment to universal health coverage (UHC) through the National Health Insurance (NHI) system, which aims to provide financial protection and efficient resource utilisation.
“In South Africa, we are actively pursuing transformation to achieve universal health coverage through our NHI system.
“The NHI is designed to provide financial protection for all, ensuring that access to quality healthcare is not dependent on one’s ability to pay [for] it, and it will also assist in the efficient utilisation of our resources by pulling funds and strategically purchasing services.”
Motsoaledi cited data from the World Health Organisation (WHO), which indicate that the number of people shielded from catastrophic health spending had been steadily increasing before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, since then, about 100 million people have fallen back into financial hardship due to health-related expenses.
Motsoaledi believes that the NHI is a concrete demonstration of government’s commitment to leaving no one behind, and fostering and strengthening the resilience of the health system.
The Minister quoted the late Harvard Department of Anthropology’s Professor Paul Farmer on the value of all lives and urged G20 members to increase public financing of health systems as a fundamental investment.
“I want to quote the idea that 'some lives matter less' is the root of all that is wrong with the world.
“We implore all G20 members to champion increased public financing of health systems.
“This is not merely a budgetary issue; it’s a fundamental investment in our collective future.”
Motsoaledi urged attendees to prioritise public health over competing interests, ensuring that adequate resources are allocated to meet the health needs of the nation’s populations.
“Furthermore, we must all align our efforts beyond financing. We must address the persistent health inequities that plague our world.”
Non-communicable diseases
Motsoaledi highlighted the importance of addressing health inequities, particularly in low and middle-income countries, and the need for multilateral approaches to prevent and control non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
He said the upcoming United Nations High-Level Meeting on NCDs is seen as a crucial opportunity to galvanise global action against chronic conditions like heart disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases.
“We must alleviate the financial burden, restrict unhealthy food marketing, finance emergency health services, and accelerate cervical cancer elimination, the only cancer which is preventable.”
The theme of the three-day meeting is: “Accelerating Health Equity, Solidarity, and Universal Coverage”.
Along with this meeting, a co-sponsored event focused on eliminating cervical cancer, is also taking place.
“We must move beyond dialogue and commit to concrete steps. South Africa is committed to collaborating with all the G20 members to achieve our shared goals.
“Let us work together to ensure that health remains a priority, not a commodity, especially during these unstable economic times,” Motsoaledi added.
South Africa, which assumed the G20 Presidency in December, is currently hosting various working groups and ministerial meetings throughout the country.
These meetings are focused on key topics such as health, employment, trade, tourism, and the digital economy -- all in preparation for the G20 Leaders’ Summit scheduled for November this year.
The G20 comprises 19 countries including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Türkiye, United Kingdom, and the United States. It also includes two regional bodies – the European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU). – SAnews.gov.za

The police said 123 suspects were arrested for attempted murder; 167 suspects were arrested for murder (with the majority of these suspects, 45, arrested in KwaZulu-Natal and followed by the Western Cape with 42). The police also arrested 1 753 wanted suspects and 203 drug dealers.
A further 1 507 suspects were arrested for being in possession of drugs. The majority of these suspects (689) were arrested in the Western Cape. Furthermore, 115 suspects were arrested for being in possession of illegal firearms.
Additionally, 10 suspects were arrested for human trafficking, while 432 drivers were arrested for drunken driving.
One hundred and nineteen firearms and 1 335 rounds of ammunition were confiscated. The police also recovered 76 hijacked and stolen vehicles.
Curbing smuggling
Members of the Limpopo Anti-Smuggling team conducted a successful operation along the N11 road in Mahwelereng, which resulted in the arrest of 20 Ethiopian foreign nationals, who were allegedly smuggled into the country.
Police also arrested suspected drug mules at OR Tambo International Airport. A Brazilian man and South African woman arrived on the same flight from São Paulo, Brazil, and were intercepted by police. Police seized cocaine valued at over R1 million. Their arrest has now brought the total number of similar arrests at the airport to five since January 2025.
“Police will continue with their operations by asserting the authority of the State to ensure the safety and security of all South Africans and visitors to the country,” said the SAPS. – SAnews.gov.za

President Ramaphosa pays heartfelt tribute to nurses for their role during COVID
President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed gratitude for the vital role nurses played during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The President addressed the 9th National Congress of the Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa (DENOSA) today. This was the first time the President addressed DENOSA since the outbreak, highlighting the lasting impact of healthcare workers in the fight against the virus.
President Ramaphosa reflected on the significant changes caused by the pandemic, including the loss of lives and the challenges encountered by healthcare workers.
“We lost a number of nurses and healthcare workers, brave men and women who were at the frontline of the pandemic. Brave is not an adequate word to describe them. Many of you faced the danger of being infected and death, but you still went on to care for those who were affected.”
He encouraged attendees to observe a moment of silence in honor of the brave nurses and healthcare professionals, who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving on the front lines.
“For you who are in the profession, nursing is a calling. It requires a strength of character and commitment to service that is rare.”
The President highlighted the long history of struggle for equity in the nursing profession, particularly among black nurses during apartheid, who fought tirelessly for their rights amid systemic inequalities.
“Black nurses were expected to only care for black patients in black-only hospitals. The hospitals and clinics assigned to serve the country’s majority were under resourced and chronically underfunded.
“Black nurses had unfavourable working conditions, were paid less than their white counterparts, and had fewer opportunities for advancement.”
He reiterated his statements made during this year’s State of the Nation Address (SONA), that government will allocate resources to the health sector, build hospitals and clinics, and strengthen the healthcare system.
“This is the commitment that we’re going to achieve, and this is what we’re going to do.”
The President also took the time to commend DENOSA for its nearly three decades of advocacy and service, and emphasised the organisation’s pivotal role in shaping nursing policy in South Africa.
“We all appreciate the difficult balance that must be struck between advocacy and activism, on the one hand, and fulfilling the rights of patients to treatment and care, on the other hand,” he said.
President Ramaphosa outlined key strategic priorities for the next five years, including driving inclusive growth, reducing poverty, and building a capable, ethical developmental State.
He underscored the integral role of nurses in achieving these goals, particularly in contributing to a capable State.
Meanwhile, despite a recent uptick in nursing registrations, he raised concerns about declining training numbers due in part to accreditation delays.
President Ramaphosa urged DENOSA to engage proactively in policy development to ensure that the nursing profession evolves alongside the changing landscape of healthcare.
“In an environment where South Africa has a shortage of nurses, we are encouraged that the issue of South African nurses being recruited in large numbers by other countries is also on the agenda.”
NHI
Meanwhile, he said the support of DENOSA will be pivotal as the country prepares for the National Health Insurance (NHI).
He is of the view that the NHI will bring the country closer to its aspiration of being a society where the human dignity of all is upheld at all times.
“The right to dignity matters most when people are sick and need help, and when they are most vulnerable. Our nurses will be the backbone of the NHI.”
He urged the union to be at the forefront of discussions around skilling and training, health systems strengthening, and other crucial matters.
The President called on the union to continue its leadership in advocating for nursing, while addressing the broader health needs of communities.
“I’d like to thank you all once again for being frontline soldiers of our people’s health... you... are the ones who take your heart and full dedication to serving the people of South Africa, and we’re eternally grateful for that,” he added. – SAnews.gov.za

Rodgers announces strategic initiatives to drive KZN economic growth, job creation
Rodgers announces strategic initiatives to drive KZN economic growth, job creation
KwaZulu-Natal Finance MEC, Francois Rodgers, has announced a number of strategic initiatives aimed at boosting the province's economic growth, creating jobs, and stabilising the cost of living.
Rodgers highlighted some of the initiatives, when he was tabling the province’s R158.478 billion budget for the 2025/2026 financial year, on Tuesday.
In his address, Rodgers highlighted the positive signs of economic recovery, pointing to key indicators, including an increase in the province’s equitable share and additional allocations in conditional grants.
He also noted the progress being made through the Provincial Financial Recovery Plan.
“What is required now is discipline with a sharp focus on the end objective, growth in our economy, job creation, and stabilising and reducing the cost of living,” Rodgers said.
Initiatives to strengthen financial discipline
The MEC said the provincial Treasury is committed to perform financial oversight and monitor provincial expenditure, with a view to prevent non-essential government activities.
He added that efforts are underway to identify new streams of revenue for the provincial fiscus.
Another key initiative is the adoption of a cost-containment instruction by the Executive Council, which aims to sustain KZN’s ability to meet its needs, “while protecting its future.”
“Cutting the nice to haves to protect the must haves. One such example is [council] agreement to do away with rental vehicles, with procurement for vehicles, in line with National Treasury guidelines.
“When the GPU (Government of Provincial Unity) took office, the province was projecting to over-spend in the region of R10 billion, [but] with strict control measures and compliance, we have now reduced this to R4.9 billion,” Rodgers highlighted.
E-procurement tool
To further improve financial efficiency, Rodgers announced that Treasury is awaiting approval for the acquisition and implementation of an e-procurement tool, a system designed to eliminate overcharging of goods and services during the Supply Chain Management (SCM) and tender processes.
“This system will yield enormous savings for the province and reduce irregularities in the procurement process,” Rodgers said.
The MEC said the provincial government is making great strides in achieving a balanced budget, noting that “it’s a painful process, but a process that needs to be sustained and supported.”
Rodgers further announced that starting in April 2025, the provincial government will introduce departmental financial dashboards, which will reflect departments financial metrics, such as creditors, debtors, cash balances, and projected expenditure.
He said these dashboards will assist members of the Executive Council and oversight committees with a clearer picture of the province's financial health.
Additionally, the provincial Treasury is exploring the establishment of an information centre, which will focus on "Operation Pay on Time" and assist with tender processes and supplying information on Public Private Partnerships (PPPs).
“Going forward, I will continue, in my capacity as MEC, to regularly engage the Premier and the provincial executive on good financial practices. We will be consistent in our advocacy for efficient expenditure and the prioritisation of programmes aimed at alleviating poverty, inequality, unemployment, effective service delivery and building a sustainable economy,” the MEC said.
Provincial budget highlights
A large portion of the 2025/2026 provincial budged (79.9%), has been allocated to the three key social services departments, including Education, Health, and Social Development.
The Education Department received the largest share of the budget, with R66 690 206 allocated, followed by Health with R56 211 801.
Other allocations include:
• Transport allocated R13 827 066.
• Office of the Premier R817 875.
• Provincial Legislature R850 796.
• Agriculture and Rural Development R2 757 443.
• Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs R3 606 998.
• Provincial Treasury R710 190.
• Human Settlements R3 549 877.
• Community Safety and Liaison R275 716.
• Sport, Arts and Culture R1 598 141.
• Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs R1 931 153.
• Social Development R3 613 297.
• Public Works and Infrastructure R2 037 490. – SAnews.gov.za

Home Affairs Minister issues stern warning to crooked officials
Home Affairs Minister issues stern warning to crooked officials
Home Affairs Minister Dr Leon Schreiber has warned crooked officials that the department will leave no stone unturned to rid its ranks of corruption.
Schreiber said officials involved in corrupt activities will face the full might of the law.
“Our message also makes it clear that we apply the rule of law without fear or favour,” Schreiber said.
Speaking at the launch of the Border Management and Immigration Anti-Corruption Forum (BMIACF) in Pretoria on Tuesday, Schreiber said cooperation amongst the relevant authorities is making an impact on efforts to restore the image of the Department of Home Affairs and the Border Management Authority (BMA).
“We are also committed to the kind of systems reform that will close the space for discretion, which enables fraud and corruption in the first place,” Schreiber said.
One of the fundamental pillars of digital transformation, the Minister said, is the use of technology to help prevent and detect corruption, and uproot corrupt networks altogether.
“But the reality is that, for as long as we have paper-based visa documents, for as long as we use manual, paper-based processes, and for as long as decisions are wide-open to human discretion and interference, the space for corruption will continue to exist.
“Paper visas are being replaced by an Electronic Travel Authorisation featuring Artificial Intelligence and machine learning-based adjudication. Paper documents are being replaced by secure digital documents, including the digital ID system announced by the President during the State of the Nation Address.
“The green ID book will be phased out and replaced by the far more secure smart ID and digital ID, and we are automating entry-and-exit at all South African ports-of-entry,” the Minister said.
Schreiber is confident that the systems reforms will deliver a "systems revolution" in the border management and immigration environment.
“No more papers that can go missing or be manipulated. No more photo-swopping on green ID books. No more bribing an immigration officer to manipulate an outcome, or to gain entry into the country illegally because you cannot bribe a computer and an electronic gate,” Schreiber said.
Schreiber said the Department of Home Affairs is concluding the appointment of a permanent Deputy Director-General for Human Resources.
“It is my expectation that this person will further intensify our quest to rid Home Affairs of the bad apples,” he said.
Speaking at the launch of the BMIACF, the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Advocate Shamila Batohi, said officials must urgently bring an end to the phenomenon of South Africa being used as a transit route for criminal activities.
“We need law enforcement agencies that serve the public and put an end to these criminal activities.”
Batohi said a lot has been done over the period of five years and that more is still to be done to deal with crime and corruption.
Advocate Andy Mothibi, the Head of the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), said the launch of Border Management and Immigration Anti-Corruption Forum is a strategic intervention in the fight against crime and corruption.
“The launch of Border Management and Immigration Anti-Corruption Forum is a strategic intervention to foster collaboration between various stakeholders, who bring with them their respective mandates and expertise, which will speed up investigations of corruption allegations."
Mothibi expressed the SUI's support for the BMIACF.
The BMIACF focuses on immigration and border management, which is vulnerable to fraud and corruption.
The BMIACF has a steering committee coordinating all the work and managing stakeholders' progress. It is supported by subcommittees that focus on specialist areas such as prevention, detection, investigation and implementation of consequence management. – SAnews.gov.za

Two to appear in court in connection with Marry Me attack
Two suspects are expected to appear before the Pretoria North Magistrates Court on Wednesday in connection with the attack of community-based patrollers at the Marry Me informal settlement in Soshanguve.
The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) said the pair, aged 27 and 50, will appear on charges of murder, attempted murder, and possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.
“The firearms will be subjected to ballistic testing to ascertain whether they had been involved in other serious crimes in Gauteng,” said the Hawks.
The two were arrested on Monday by members of the Hawks’ Tactical Operations Management Section (TOMS) in Pretoria, together with the Tshwane K9 Unit, Akasia Crime Prevention, Tshwane Akasia Crime Intelligence, Public Order Policing (POP) Pretoria, Tshwane district Serious Violent Crime (SVC) and the Pretoria North Local Criminal Record Centre (LCRC).
READ | Attack on community-based patrollers condemned
“On 24 March 2025, information was received by members of TOMS regarding a group of suspects that have allegedly committed multiple murders and attempted murder in Soshanguve (Marry Me), which occurred on 22 March 2025. The police followed up on the information and traced the first suspect to Soshanguve Extension 20,” said the Hawks.
Upon arrival, police recovered one firearm, a 9MM Girsan with ammunition. The serial number had been filed off the firearm.
The police proceed to the second address in Soshanguve Extension 6, where the second suspect was arrested.
During the arrest, the suspect was found in possession of a 9MM CZ with ammunition, and its serial number was also filed off.
“... The suspects are allegedly linked to murders and house robberies that occurred on 21 February 2025,” said the Hawks. - SAnews.gov.za
