ELSON Mandela Bay Primary Healthcare workers are meeting at the Zwide Township Clinic in Port Elizabeth today to address issues that affect them and their service
Disgruntled nurses working in New Brighton, Tshangana, and Zwide Clinics in Port Elizabeth and Rosedale Clinic in Uitenhage told PE Express Indaba that they were facing major problems and if it was not addressed speedily, more lives would be lost in Nelson Mandela Bay. “At the New Brighton clinic alone, many patients, some in wheelchairs, have to wait in long queues of about 400 at times. They arrive as early as 7am hoping to see the doctor,” said Nontobeko Yawa, AZAPO’s Provincial Health Com-
missioner. Yawa contacted PE Express Indaba after she recently saw a patient “collapse and die” while waiting for assistance at the New Brighton clinic. Nurses complain about working under duress in unbearable circumstances since the transfer of clinics from the municipality to the province through provincialisation. They claim to be understaffed as many have resigned owing to the poor working conditions. Those working under contracts do not know their future. Nurses claim there are not enough doctors, pharmacists or trained personnel to dispense medication and that they are forced to work more hours for less pay. “We have lost benefits like Medical Aid, UIF, Group Life Insurance and Pension Fund,” said a dejected Nursing Sister Winky Mngqibisa who
has been in the nursing profession for 27 years. According to Mngqibisa, a legal team has been appointed to look into the Transfer Agreement between Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality and the Provincial Department of Health which was signed without the involvement of their union representatives. Of the 400 members of staff transferred, 59 have already resigned, according to Mngqibisa. “We are not happy here. We do not get opportunities for better pay and have lost our benefits. There is a lot of nepotism and lack of transparency,” said Nursing Assistant Vurovanty Johannes of Rosedale clinic. “I am also concerned about the working conditions in this clinic which adversely affect the patients,” said Mngqibisa. One of the patients waiting to be assisted at the clinic said they were told that there was no medication. “We can’t afford to go to other areas
in the city centre to get medication. This is unfair,” said the patient. According to Yawa, AZAPO presented a report about what she called “continued negligence” to the Public Protector on September 12 this year during Advocate Thuli Madonsela’s consultations on the health sector. Provincial Health spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo said his department was aware of, and addressing, the challenges facing Nelson Mandela Bay Primary Health. “To start with, we have appointed a new district Director to address those challenges.” Kupelo added that if members of staff were experiencing problems, they were expected to contact their relevant managers or contact EC Health Department Director Sipumeze Makitshi. Kupelo advised patients encountering problems to call: 0800 032 364.

Big boost from Absa for Ubuntu Fund NCEBA DLADLA ABSA Bank donated R800 000 to the Ubuntu Education Fund to benefit thousands of orphaned and vulnerable children taking part in their educational, social and health intervention programmes. This is a massive injection for the Zwidebased institution to achieve its objectives of educating and empowering the poorest of the poor. Absa’s Andy de la Mare said his bank thrived on building partnerships to empower the next generation with skills to achieve economic independence. Ubuntu’s Employability and Life Skills Programme currently provides comprehensive support to 1 240 orphaned and vulnerable children, transforming their lives from cradle to career. Through Ubuntu’s unique model, 32 students are on scholarships at South African universities, 10 have already graduated from universities, three are in post-graduate programmes and 43 more are currently enjoying employment in rewarding careers. “We want these children to succeed and get out of the cycle of poverty,” said de la Mare, add-
ing that Absa had already sponsored Ubuntu with more than R2 million since they started their trusted partnership with a R70 000 donation about 15 years ago. Ubuntu Deputy President Gcobani Zonke described the donation by Absa as an investment in the human capital of the otherwise socio-economically challenged communities. The scale of the investment, he said, signalled the turn of a new page in their fund-raising efforts in the country. “We have proven in the last 14 years that investing in children every day of their lives until they are stable yields the greatest returns on human investment, said Zonke, adding that each rand invested in an Ubuntu child multiplies eight times in terms of lifetime earnings for the child and two times in terms of of net gain for society. University graduate and Ubuntu External Relations Coordinator Zethu Ngceza, who was the Master of Ceremonies, also waxed lyrical on behalf of the beneficiaries on how the relationship Ubuntu had with Absa changed their lives to the better. “We want to thank Ubuntu and Absa bank for helping us fulfil our dreams for a better life,” said Ngceza proudly.

New Brighton Safety Patrollers call for help NCEBA DLADLA NEW Brighton Community Patrollers claim that they put their lives at risk by providing safety and security to local residents, whereas they get nothing in return. “We were concerned about the high levels of crime in our community. People were living in fear of being attacked by thugs in their homes and streets until we came up with the idea of patrolling the streets,” said Boy Teyise. According to Teyise, in the recent past there was a series of murders happening in the area as a result of the alleged serial killer known as uMakoti because of the female traditional attire he wore.
“The environment had become even more dangerous without street lights in some parts of Ward 17,” said Nkululeko Bekwa, another New Brighton Patroller, adding that in March 2011 they decided to take shifts in the wee hours of the morning and in the dark of night to provide residents going to and from work with security. He said they targeted the area’s serious crime hot spots as the ward is rather large. “We also decided to work at the New Brighton clinic that was being vandalised and destroyed by thieves who put the lives of both nurses and the patients at risk,” said Bekwa. According to Bekwa they have been providing this service to the primary health-care institution for a year now, without any form of payment.
The workers bitterly complained that they depended on hand-outs from the good Samaritans to survive - a shame for family men. “We are scorned at times by our wives who think that we are wasting our time - risking our lives - looking after other people’s safety - for nothing!” said one patroller who did not identify himself. Municipal spokesperson Kupido Baron said he found it interesting that local residents were taking up responsibility for their community. Baron promised to investigate whether nothing could be done by say, the municipality or the Public Health Department, to assist the volunteers. Otherwise, he said, the clinics were no longer under the municipal guard but under the province.

Beware of jamming devices NCEBA DLADLA MEMBERS of the public are warned against criminals pouncing on them when locking their vehicles with remote controls. The message is that drivers must be always alert when they are locking their vehicles. “Criminals are using remote control devices to override the remote vehicle security systems and steal property left inside the vehicle,” said Port Elizabeth police spokesperson Captain Andre Beetge. According to Beetge, drivers must always check their doors
by hand to ensure that they have been locked. “Using a hand after pressing the remote control is good to ensure that the vehicle is locked especially when you are unable to hear the clicking sound or see the flashing head lights associated with the remote locking of a car,” said Beetge. He added that the warning was also applicable to people opening and closing security gates and garage doors using a remote control before driving away. “We have recently seen a number of these types of incidents reported, especially at shopping complexes,” said Captain Beetge.
