RAZAAN PLAATJIES
LIFE Isivivana Private Hospital in Humansdorp will close its doors permanently on September 30, marking the end of the public-private partnership between the hospital and the Eastern Cape Department of Health
The hospital, which first opened its doors in November 2004, holds the distinction of being the Eastern Cape's oldest private-public partnership
Operating as a private facility within stateowned property, it has served the Humansdorp community for two decades
The announcement brings clarity to months of uncertainty surrounding the hospital's future, as previously reported by Kouga Express
The facility had been awaiting confirmation from the Eastern Cape Department of Health regarding the renewal of its contract, which was set to expire towards the end of 2025
Pat Lubobo, Hospital Manager at Life
Isivivana Private Hospital, confirmed that the Eastern Cape Department of Health would not be renewing its 20-year public-private partnership with Life Isivivana Private Hospital
"This will lead to the hospital's closure on September 30, 2025, and the handing over of the hospital building back to the Department of Health," said Lubobo
"Life Isivivana has valued the immense contribution of its specialists, referring and admitting general practitioners, healthcare workers and employees who have contributed to the delivery of healthcare in Humansdorp and surrounding areas for the past 20 years," said Lubobo
The facility achieved significant recognition during its operation, including being named Small Hospital of the Year within Life Healthcare at the fourth annual Life Achiever Awards in November 2018 As the hospital prepares for closure, management has out-
lined a structured timeline for operations
Hospital management is currently engaging with doctors and employees in a process to ensure a streamlined closure of the facility
Lubobo said that no patient will be admitted after September 19, and all patients will be discharged on September 30 or will be transferred to other hospitals for further care
"We understand that the non-renewal of the partnership may be disappointing for the community, healthcare professionals and our employees However, we are committed to continuing to provide the highest standard of quality care that the community is accustomed to right up to the closure date," said Lubobo Eastern Cape Health Communications Director Siyanda Manana confirmed that the agreement with Life Isivivana, which commenced on October 1, 2004, is set to terminate on September 30 without default by either party
“Recognising the strategic importance of a seamless transition, the Eastern Cape Department of Health and Life Health Group initiated pre-termination engagements in late 2022, followed by formal negotiations starting on December 11, 2024,” said Manana
“These engagements led to the establishment of joint governance structures and subcommittees focusing on legal, financial, infrastructural, human resources, asset management, ICT, communications, and supply chain processes ”
Manana said that the exit and handover plans are currently in effect
“There will be no instability as the handover was planned well in advance Service delivery will not be affected ” He further said that the department plans to open a theatre at the building in Humansdorp, which will stem the flow of patients to the Dora Nginza Hospital in Gqeberha “We are in the process of employing clinical staff and strengthening primary health care,” said Manana
Kouga Executive Mayor Hattingh Bornman said that he is saddened by the potential
closure of Life Isivivana Private Hospital, which has played a valuable role in providing essential healthcare services to residents However, he said that it is important to note that the provincial hospital will remain open and fully operational to continue serving the community’s healthcare needs
“As a local municipality, the development and funding of hospitals do not fall within our mandate Therefore, we cannot intervene directly in this matter That said, we remain committed to supporting the process where possible and will prioritise the fast-tracking of any current or outstanding development applications related to the facility through our Planning and Development Department,” said Bornman
Jeffreys Bay private hospital underway
Meanwhile, the long-awaited Jeffreys Bay private hospital project has reached a significant milestone, with construction expected to commence within the next few weeks following recent municipal approvals and pending provincial health department clearance
On July 14, the Kouga Business Forum announced on their Facebook page that building plans for the hospital development were re-approved by Kouga Municipality earlier this month and have now been submitted to the Department of Health in East London for final approval
Executive Mayor Hattingh Bornman confirmed that Kouga Local Municipality's role has been to review and approve the building plans, ensuring that all development activities comply with relevant legislation and regulatory requirements.
The project appears to be moving forward smoothly, with the Kouga Business Forum expressing confidence in the approval process
"With strong relationships between the architect and the DOH team, we anticipate
First-everCANSACuppaeventforJeffreysBay
THE Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) is excited to announce the very first Cuppa For CANSA event to take place in Jeffreys Bay on August 30 at 10:00 at the Jeffreys Bay Bowling Club
This much-loved fundraising initiative invites community members to come together
Marius de Vries, CANSA's Sustainability Coordinator in Gqeberha, shared his enthusiasm
"We're so excited to be holding our first Cuppa in Jeffreys Bay and really hope to bring the community together in a fun and beautiful way for CANSA," said De Vries
Loggerenberg, a medical orthotist, prosthetist and certified compression therapist, will provide valuable insights on lymphoedema treatment
Tickets are available at R150 per person
All proceeds will support CANSA's care and support programmes, which include breast,
a smooth approval process in the coming weeks," the Kouga Business Forum stated The Kouga Business Forum further stated that a draft Bill of Quantities has been prepared to guide construction costs, and upon Department of Health approval, a final contract will be signed between Intarox (the developers) and Menlo Construction (the main contractor), officially marking the start of construction
Bornman emphasised the critical need for the facility, particularly given current healthcare challenges in the region
"With Kouga's population steadily increasing and the potential closure of the private hospital in Humansdorp this September, there is a pressing need for accessible medical services in the area," said Bornman
He highlighted that establishing a hospital offering specialised care would provide significant benefits to Kouga communities, where such services are currently lacking
"At present, residents are forced to travel out of town for consultations and procedures, causing inconvenience and diverting economic activity away from the region," said Bornman
"By offering specialised medical services locally, Kouga can retain essential economic drivers and enhance healthcare access for its residents "
According to Bornman, the project has encountered no major regulatory hurdles
"There were no zoning or regulatory issues to address prior to resuming construction, as the property's zoning already permits the proposed use," said Bornman
He also said that the necessary infrastructure is already in place to support the new hospital development
The Kouga Business Forum has committed to keeping the community informed throughout the development process and looks forward to the next milestone in building a healthier Kouga
tunity to help us lead South Africa towards a cancer-free future," said De Vries

TenniscoachopposescourtdemolitioninHumansdorp
RAZAAN PLAATJIES
THE president of the Humansdorp-based Douglas Matsha People s Association (Domapa), Loyiso Matsha, has raised urgent concerns about Kouga Municipality's plans to allegedly demolish two tennis courts in KwaNomzamo to make way for a car wash facility
Matsha, a professional tennis coach based in Johannesburg and former triple South African u/18 tennis champion from the 1970s, said the decision would destroy any hopes of reviving tennis in the Humansdorp area "I heard from official sources that the two dilapidated KwaNomzamo tennis courts, built in the 1980s, will soon be demolished A car wash facility will be built there instead This is disturbing and most unwelcome news," Matsha said The tennis coach revealed he has been planning to relocate to Humansdorp and establish a tennis academy in the area, transferring his successful Johannesburg-based operation to the Eastern Cape town
"I was thinking of relocating to Humansdorp in the near future, and thus transferring my successful Johannesburg-based tennis academy to Humansdorp With the removal of the tennis courts, this seems like an impossible dream," he explained
Matsha, who won the South African u/18 championships in both singles and doubles during the 1970s, said he had appealed to the municipality for the construction of six tennis courts with a cottage next to the tennis courts, which will house a caretaker
He said that Domapa has offered to pay the salary of the caretaker
However, Matsha claims that the municipality never responded to his proposal
"A nationally sanctioned tennis tournament needs a minimum of six tennis courts
“Thus, I have appealed for the construction of six tennis courts, with a residential tennis coach residing on the premises Kouga Municipality never gave me a reply," he said
At a meeting with municipal officials recently, Matsha was allegedly informed that only one multipurpose court would be built at the KwaNomzamo sports ground, serving both tennis and
netball
"This will kill tennis, as the tennis and netball players will constantly be fighting for territory," said Matsha
The tennis advocate expressed frustration that Humansdorp, which he described as "once a haven for tennis in the 1940s until the 1980s," was about to lose a golden opportunity to benefit from a coach with international experience
"The tennis fraternity is very perturbed by the municipality's
NewchapterforStFrancisBayFireStation
LAST year, the St Francis Bay community lost one of its most passionate and dedicated residents, Tom Roux Roux was not only known for his unwavering commitment to the Rotary Club of St Francis but also for his incredible tours around Sea Vista and St Francis Bay, showcasing the impactful work Rotary was doing in these communities
His tours were more than just informational; according to a statement from the Rotary Club of St Francis, they were a testament to the power of service and the difference that Rotary members make in the lives of so many
One such tour, which included Rotarians Lesley de Jager (now President-Elect) and Gail Petrie, ended at the St Francis
Bay Fire Station As they stood there, the heavens opened, and a heavy downpour began Waiting inside for the storm to pass, they took note of the conditions of the station
What they saw was a stark reminder of the tough reality faced by those who protect our community
The roof was leaking badly, the kitchen was unusable, the couches were in such poor condition that they couldn’t even be sat on, and the toilets were in disrepair Even more concerning was the fact that the sleeping areas for both men and women were crammed into one room These were the brave men and women who fought the notorious fires that have plagued St Francis Bay for years They worked tirelessly on 24-hour shifts, putting their lives on the line to keep us all safe
Yet, their own station, where they rested, ate, and prepared for their next mission, was in desperate need of attention
Seeing this firsthand, a proposal was made to address these pressing issues, and the Rotary Steering Committee quickly approved it
According to a statement from the Rotary Club of St Francis, a few months later, Billy’s Beach, a local business with a heart for community, stepped up They allocated a portion of the funds raised from their annual “Ballies Party” to help revamp the St Francis Bay Fire Station, contributing a generous R360 000 - the largest allocation from their annual donation to the Rotary Club of St Francis With plans in place and the legal groundwork recently completed, a year after Roux’s passing marks the beginning of a much-needed renovation project The first phase will see the roof being replaced, with the project set to be completed in the coming months
Phase 2 will focus on the revamping of the kitchen, the creation of a recreational room, the establish-
action It seems that Humansdorp will lose a golden opportunity to have a tennis coach with international experience coming to the area, and helping Kouga to prosper," said Matsha
He has called on municipal officials to reconsider their decision and is open to discussions about redirecting funds to build six tennis courts
Matsha also encouraged current Kouga councillors to read his books: History of S A Black Tennis – 1875 until 2022 and Humansdorp's Ou Lokasie Will Rise Again – In a Different Form, to better understand the area s history
"By showing interest, the authorities will help the Kouga community's children gain a lot, and the academy will help lessen gangsterism, drug addiction, alcoholism, truancy and teenage pregnancy," said Matsha
Among the tennis players he coached is Anastacia Simons of Gqeberha, who received a scholarship and completed a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery at Southern Illinois University in the USA in 2010
He also coached Gqeberha's Mandy Saptoe, who played as number one for South Africa's u/18 girls' tennis team in the 1980s
When approached for comment, Kouga Municipality indicated that the relevant department is investigating the situation
ment of separate sleeping areas for men and women, and the improvement of bathroom facilities and a gym area This comprehensive upgrade will ensure that our firefighters have the facilities they deserve, a proper place to rest, recover, and continue the vital work they do
The Rotary Club of St Francis is proud to continue the legacy of Roux A week before his passing, Roux made a heartfelt request to
fellow Rotarian Jef Forrer: “If anything happens to me, please make sure the Fire Station work continues ” Thanks to his vision and the dedication of so many, that promise is being fulfilled This is more than just a building project; it’s a tribute to the selflessness and bravery of our firefighters, and a reminder that when a community comes together, there is no limit to what can be achieved

LocalmountaineerconquersMountEverest
RAZAAN PLAATJIES
IN the pre-dawn darkness of May 18, as fierce winds howled across the world's highest peak, Zach Smith stood atop Mount Everest at 03:00 a moment that marked not just personal triumph, but the near-completion of an 18-year mountaineering journey that began in his childhood while reading adventure books
The American, who has called Jeffreys Bay home since 2010, summited Everest in just six hours, roughly half the time it takes most climbers, before beginning his careful descent back to base camp Now, with only one peak remaining in his Seven Summits challenge, Smith is preparing for what may be his most logistically challenging climb yet, Mount Vinson in Antarctica
"I'm very ready to be done with the Seven Summits," said Smith "It's been a great challenge I love mountaineering Whether I ever climb the Seven Summits or not, I love mountaineering It was a fun goal to get me out to see mountains across the world "
Smith's journey to the worlds highest peaks began in an unlikely place the flat coastal town of Jeffreys Bay, where he serves as chairman of the board for the Ithemba Family Support Centre alongside his wife, Danielle, and two young daughters, Scout (5) and Jinx (4) He said that training for Everest from sea level required creativity and determination, which resulted in his utilising local mountains like Lady’s Slipper and the Edge Fitness Club's incline treadmills
"When I go to Lady’s Slipper, I do about five laps, which is a typical training day," said Smith
"You can get really fit in a flat, non-mountainous area "
The path to Everest wasn't without its challenges Smith said that this year proved particularly difficult, with unusually high winds limiting summit days He said that his team made the strategic decision to summit during the night to avoid dangerous afternoon wind conditions
"We knew that there was going to be a lot of high winds on May 18, so we made the decision
to summit in the middle of the night We felt like it was going to be safer," said Smith
He said that the summit experience itself was far from the emotional celebration many might expect Instead, his focus remained laser-sharp on safety and the descent ahead
"I did not have a ton of big emotions, and I did not feel like I finally got to the top of Everest I was more focused on what was going on in my mind I wanted to eat and drink something and take a picture I knew that getting to the top was the halfway point and that I still had a long way to go," said Smith
His journey began in 2009 with Mount Elbrus in Russia, followed by Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua, then Denali in 2012
After a career-focused hiatus, he recently completed Carstensz Pyramid in Indonesia before tackling Everest
Highlighting the sobering reality that most Everest accidents occur during descent, Smith said, "The summit wasn't the goal, the goal was to get to base camp safely and back home to my family "
At 40 years old, he said he has adapted his
training approach to account for his body's changing needs, as it does not recover as quickly as it used to "I don't bounce back like I did when I started this 18 years ago I must be smart about my recovery, making sure I get eight to 10 hours of sleep depending on the training day and making sure that I've got my nutrition," said Smith
For aspiring mountaineers, particularly those in non-mountainous regions, he advises that they familiarise themselves with the level that they can manage "There's nothing wrong with climbing at your level You don't go from not climbing anything to going to Mount Everest You need to start where you are," said Smith
The upcoming Antarctica expedition represents both an ending and a beginning for him
Smith said that Mount Vinson, planned for November this year, will complete his Seven Summits challenge a goal inspired by reading Dick Bass's book about being the first person to climb the highest peak on each continent
,
Beyond the financial considerations, he sees his mountaineering pursuits as part of a larger philosophy about pursuing meaningful challenges
"I hope that other people don't necessarily want to do the same thing that I do, but I hope other people look at what Im doing and feel the freedom to live the life that they want to live," said Smith
Reflecting on how mountaineering has shaped him, he said that when he does hard challenges, it gives him a humble confidence that he can do hard tasks, survive, thrive and rise to the occasion
Even after completing the Seven Summits, Smith's mountaineering career will continue
"When Im 70, am I going to still be climbing really high mountains? Maybe not, but I'll still want to be outdoors I do it because I enjoy it, not because of the goal," said Smith
As he prepares for his final summit, Smith carries with him the same mantras he teaches his young daughters: "You can do hard things because you are tough You can do scary things because you are brave "
