The Solar Capital De Aar 3 sponsored ECD development center

Happy Little Ducklings is a community based early childhood development (ECD) center in Emthanjeni Municipality that provides safe childcare services. It operates from rented facilities and serves 115 children ranging in agefromoneyeartofiveyears Thecenter wasin need of play area equipment and monthly funding for the provision of meals.Otherobjectiveswereto provide a safe and caring environment for the daily care of children to ensure they received an all round, age appropriate learning experience and that they reached their developmental milestones. The Solar Capital

DeAar 3 (SCDA 3) Community Trust stepped in to help and sponsored this project, while EDS facilitated the project administration. The monthly fees paid for the childcare services are very affordable but are sporadic due to the area’shighunemploymentrate in a district that’s relatively poor and underdeveloped The beneficiary communities, particularly in De Aar, Britstown, Hanover, and Philipstown, are hard hit, and although they receive funding from organisations like the SCDA 3 Trust, it is insufficient, and more can be done to alleviate their poverty stricken conditions.

Health Department committed towards addressing surgical backlogs in the province

Aspartofcommitmenttodeal more systematically with the backlog of surgeries in the province, the Provincial Health Department is pleased to note that the Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe hospital performed 72 surgeries in conjunction with Gift of the Givers this past weekend The efforts are commendable, and wearefurtherpleasedtonote that the hospital has committed to operationalise two (2) additional operating rooms to deal with the backlog of surgical cases in the following disciplines: general surgery, ENT, gynecology, neurosurgery, maxillofacial, plastic surgery, urology, and orthopaedic surgeries. This move is a direct response to the

commitment made by the Department during this year’s BudgetSpeech toalleviatethe pressure on referral hospitals such as the Dr. Harry Surtie Regional Hospital and the Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe Tertiary Hospital. The department further highlighted the number of hospitals that have been identified as priorities for this financial year. These include ManneDipico Hospital,theDe Aar District Hospital, Postmasburg Hospital, and Tshwaragano Hospital At the same time, the department is also working to ensure the availability of specialists' services in the districts and strengthening outreach services. With regards to the negative narrative and

disinformation purported by the Economic Freedom Fighters in their statement, we are not going to entertain the peddling of lies at this stage. We simply note their attack as baseless, misleading, and malicious. Our entire focus is to provide and continuously strengthen the delivery of health care services to communities On the other matter relating to oversight visits conducted by EFF to public health facilities, the Department resolved to report this matter to the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Health at the Provincial Legislature for guidance and further processing. "We will further advise our officials on further steps to be taken in this

regard" We can confidently report that significant strides have been made towards modernisingourpublichealth system and delivering quality care to 87% of the uninsured population of the Northern Cape, who depend exclusively on public health care We thank our hardworking team of health care personnel, who enabled us to stand against the test of time and gravitate towards the vision of the 6th provincial administration of "A Modern, Growing, and Successful Province" We remain committed to achieving "A Modern Health System Delivering Quality CaretoaGrowingProvince"

Jou Klitsie was onlangs die slagoffer van wat ek die " spons peleton" noem Klitsie is 'n vrygewige mens en ten spyte wat ons "2 vriendinne" in die dorp dink het ek ook 'n hart en gee ek ook. 'n Maand of twee gelede het jou Klitsie op een of ander manier bevriendgeraakmettannieSponswatiewers in die dorpwoon Waar weet ek nie mooi nie maar wat ek wel weet was dat die se Nokia 1100 en die klere my genoop het om tog 'n paar randjies te gee en tannie Spons uit te nooi om 'n paar kledingstukkies te kom kry omrede ons so om en by dieselfde size klere dra.Sywasdiedieselfdedagdaar.OomSpons het saam gekom en nie die geleentheid laat verbygaan om die koffie te aanvaar wat ek aanbied nie 6 koppies later is die weg met klere en beloftes om weer te kom kuier Die kuier het meer Sponse na vore laat kom en Klitsie se blik Ricoffy het daardie dag al slukkend gesneuwel. Soos 'n damwal wat breek word die kuiers amper 'n daaglikse storie behalwe as daar 'n begrafnis is (want die kos is mos gratis) Hier en daar 'n gunsie met 'n belofte van dit sal wel terug gegee word Nooit terug gekom nie maar Klitsie het aanvaar dat die kanse vir die belofte om nagekom te word skraler is as Zuma wat besluitomregtetel.'nPaarwekelaterlykjou Klitsiesoosdietantewatagterdiegordyndie welenweevandieburesedoenenlateindie straat dophou.
