CEO and Management of Grey’s Hospital,Ladies and Gentlemen,
But it did. Naturally these developments were met with shock, fear and a deep sense of panic. No-one knew the exact nature and scale of the destruction that COVID – 19 would cause. In this regard, we would like to thank our President, His Excellency Mr Cyril Ramaphosa, and our Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize, for their unwavering support, leadership and guidance. We would also like to thank the MEC for Health in KZN Ms Nomagugu Simelane, as the line function MEC, as well as members of our Provincial COVID – 19 Command Council for the many hours of hard work and dedication that they’ve put in.
We also procured equipment; and created systems to ensure that all healthcare workers have free and smooth access to Personal Protective Equipment , so that they can be protected. The effectiveness of our government response is testified by the high recovery rate, which I’ve alluded to.As we take stock of the impact of the detection of COVID – 19 in South Africa, let us be mindful of the looming threat of a third wave, which might be harsher than the second and first waves, due to the possible mutation of the virus.
Over the past year, we also have enjoyed a great deal of support and inspiration from civil society, and the different sectors of our society - including faith-based organisations, traditional health practitioners, the taxi industry, private health sector, and Operation Sukuma Sakhe structures, to mention but a few.THE KEY ROLE OF COMMUNICATION: FIGHTING THE VIRUS THROUGH INFORMATION DISSEMINATION
Yesterday we learnt of the passing of prominent radio, television and print journalist, anchor at ENCA Ms Karima Brown. We convey our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Karima Brown. The world of journalism is poorer without Karima Brown who was true to the profession and on behalf of the people, she never gave up asking government to remain accountable at all times. Her passing away reminds us that the threat of the pandemic remains with us.
Zikalala, a trophy premier - our country deserves leaders who will positively influence the cause of history. Not clowns.
