CB20: Making a Difference Launch

More care, more service, and more dignity for Sebokeng and Ngwelezana Hospitals.

Having recently completed a Paediatric Burns Outpatient Department at Ngwelezana Hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, the Carte Blanche Making a Difference (MAD) Trust stepped in to create a first-of-its-kind children’s trauma facility in its third project at Sebokeng Regional Hospital in Gauteng.

Thanks once again to a major donation of over R14.3 million from South32’s Richards Bay Hillside Aluminium, CBMADT has been able to once again support the young burns patients at Ngwelezana Hospital in KwaZulu-Natal. A vacant lot alongside the Paediatric Burns Inpatient Unit has been used to construct the dedicated Paediatric Burns Outpatient Department.   [[link-to:galleries-2573]]

It is an extraordinary detour, with hundreds of ships sailing for an extra 10 to 14 days to ensure safe passage through calmer African waters. But these ships appear to be giving South Africa a wide berth, preferring more efficient refuelling stops in Namibia and Mozambique. Why was Transnet so ill-prepared to take advantage of this potential economic windfall? Find more exclusive content on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://linktr.ee/carteblanchetv
