Zululand District Municipality gets new bridges

Public Works and Infrastructure Deputy Minister Sihle Zikalala says 11 of the 13 Welisizwe bridges planned to be constructed at the Zululand District Municipality in KwaZulu Natal have been completed, adding that the two remaining bridges are at a technical assessment stage.

Speaking at the handover ceremony of two Welisizwe bridges at the Ulundi Local Municipality, Zikalala said in KwaZulu Natal the programme is well on its way to reaching set targets, having completed 41 of the 51 planned bridges.

The Welisizwe bridges are part of rural infrastructure investment by government.

“During the construction period of these two bridges, the employment of local labour was intensified to help alleviate poverty within the Zululand District Municipality.

“[A total of] 161 jobs were created, and of these, 152 were EPWP, five were artisans, two special workman trainees, and one clerical,” said Zikalala.

During the 2023 budget vote, Zikalala announced a R3.8 billion allocation for the Welisizwe bridges programme targeting six provinces including the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu Natal, Free State, Mpumalanga, Limpopo and North West.

Zikalala said the Welisizwe programme supports localisation, SMME development, job creation, and transformation in the construction sector, with construction material and bridge components sourced locally.

Across the six provinces, 288 Welisizwe bridges have been targeted for construction and of those, 130 have been completed with 48 others currently under construction.

“Plans are now well advanced in consultation with the Department of Transport for the submission of the Phase Two application.

“This next phase will provide for the construction of additional rural bridges and the expansion of the Welisizwe programme to the Northern Cape, Western Cape and Gauteng provinces which were not included in the first phase,” said the Deputy Minister.

The Welisizwe Rural Bridges Programme is aimed at ensuring that rural communities are able to go on with their daily lives, and easily and safely reach schools, workplaces and other amenities.

The initiative also forms part of the Strategic Integrated Project and supports government’s economic recovery programme.

This initiative is managed by the department of Public Works and Infrastructure, the South African National Defence Force and Provincial Transport Departments. – SAnews.gov.za

South Africa, Nigeria strengthen cooperation on migration, security and governance

South Africa, Nigeria strengthen cooperation on migration, security and governance

South Africa and Nigeria have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation on migration, governance and regional security, following high-level diplomatic engagements aimed at easing tensions and deepening relations between the two countries.

The engagements come as migration and immigration continue to dominate discussions across the continent, with African leaders placing greater emphasis on finding coordinated responses to cross-border movement, public safety and governance challenges.

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Special Envoy to Nigeria and Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, concluded a diplomatic mission to Abuja, where he delivered an official message from President Ramaphosa to Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

President Tinubu appointed a high-level Nigerian government delegation to engage with the South African delegation in structured discussions.

According to the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), the talks were “candid, constructive, and forward-looking”, focusing on restoring mutual goodwill and strengthening bilateral relations.

A key focus of the engagements was managing migration-related challenges, while preserving the strong historical ties between the two countries. 

Three areas of concern

During the discussions, Lamola outlined three issues that have contributed to recent tensions between South Africa and Nigeria.

The first related to the purported installation of an unrecognised traditional ruler, styled as an “Igbo King”, in the Eastern Cape, in March this year.

Lamola said the development had generated widespread concern in South Africa, particularly as the country continues to consolidate the constitutional role of traditional leadership in the democratic era.

The second concern centred on the involvement of some foreign nationals, including Nigerian citizens, in organised crime, illicit drug trafficking and financial fraud.

According to DIRCO, more than 500 Nigerian nationals had been processed through South Africa’s criminal justice system for various offences as of 7 July 2026.

Lamola said the figures underscored the need for stronger cooperation between the two countries on cross-border law enforcement and security.

The third concern related to incidents where law enforcement officers encountered violent resistance while conducting criminal investigations, particularly in hijacked residential and commercial buildings in areas, such as Hillbrow in Johannesburg and Sunnyside in Pretoria.

These unlawful enclaves, Lamola said, have compromised public safety for both South Africans and foreign nationals.

“Regrettably, these incidents have fueled negative perceptions surrounding Nigerian nationals living in South Africa over the years. Addressing these challenges firmly, fairly, and within the bounds of the law is vital for the well-being of both our nations,” Lamola said. 

Law enforcement and due process

The two delegations also reviewed the arrest and processing of more than 500 Nigerian nationals in South Africa.

Lamola clarified that these law enforcement measures are evidence-based, targeting individual criminal conduct rather than profiling the broader, law-abiding Nigerian diaspora.

The Nigerian delegation acknowledged the importance of holding offenders accountable, while stressing that all detainees should receive constitutional due process, fair trial protections and humane treatment.

Rejecting xenophobia

A significant outcome of the talks was a shared commitment to reducing inflammatory rhetoric and preventing hostility towards foreign nationals.

Lamola reiterated that South Africa remains firmly opposed to xenophobia, racism and all forms of discrimination.

He stressed that while government would continue to act decisively against crime, criminality could never be used to justify violence or intimidation against foreign nationals.

“Law enforcement remains the exclusive prerogative of the State. While South Africa will not tolerate criminal activity by any individual regardless of nationality, we equally will not permit vigilante action or xenophobic violence against foreign nationals residing in our country. To this end, arrests have taken place and relevant investigations are still underway,” Minister Lamola stated.

Migration a growing continental priority

The engagements come amid growing continental discussions on migration, which has emerged as one of the key issues occupying African leaders and policymakers.

Migration, border management and public safety have featured prominently in recent African Union and Pan-African Parliament discussions, with leaders calling for balanced approaches that strengthen security while protecting human rights and preserving regional integration.

Lamola reiterated that shared migration and public safety challenges are best resolved through formal diplomatic channels, institutional security partnerships, and strict adherence to constitutional rights.

The two governments reaffirmed that bilateral diplomacy and Pan-African solidarity remain the essential frameworks to ensure peaceful coexistence, safeguard human rights, and deepen historical ties between South Africa and Nigeria. – SAnews.gov.za

World Health Organization (WHO) Equips Health Facilities with Refrigerators to Strengthen Access to Safe Blood

Source: APO


.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has delivered and installed 13 blood bank refrigerators, complete with solar power systems, in health facilities across all 10 States and the 3 Administrative Areas (AAs) South Sudan. This investment has enhanced blood storage capacity, ensured reliable power supply for blood banking services, and improved the availability of safe blood for patients requiring lifesaving transfusions.

The equipment was procured through funding from the Health Sector Transformation Project (HSTP), managed by the World Bank. The project is funded through Multi Donor Trust Fund, supported by key development partners including the World Bank group, UK international Development, GAVI, The global Fund, Canada, and European Union (EU). The investments form part of a broader effort to equip health facilities across the country with infrastructure, equipment, and systems needed to deliver quality healthcare services.

During the celebrations of the World blood donor day on 16th June 2026, Dr. Oromo Francis, Undersecretary of Health, noted that health facilities across the country continue to face shortages and lack of access to safe blood supplies. “The need for blood continues to rise and far outpaces supply,” said Dr. Oromo. “the refrigerators will enhance availability, safety, and quality of blood and blood products, particularly in facilities providing comprehensive emergency obstetric and newborn care. Reliable cold systems are essential to maintaining the integrity of blood, preventing wastage, and ensure timely access to safe transfusion services, and save lives.”

Dr. Humphrey Karamagi, WHO Representative for South Sudan, noted that safe blood is essential to survival. “Access to safe blood and blood products is a critical component of functioning health systems and progress towards universal health coverage. By delivering this equipment, we are sending a message of collective responsibility to ensure access to safe blood for all who need it.”

As part of a broader effort to strengthen the national blood system, WHO also supported the Ministry of Health and the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) in the development of the National Blood Transfusion Services Strategy 2026–2030, which provides a strategic framework for strengthening governance, improving blood collection and safety systems, enhancing quality management and ensuring equitable access to safe blood nationwide. To maximize the impact of these investments.

WHO developed standardized blood and blood donor management training materials, donor education materials, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to support harmonized implementation of blood transfusion services across the country. This was complemented by a Training of Trainers (ToT) for 14 NBTS staff, equipping them with the technical and facilitation skills required to lead capacity-building efforts at sub-national level. Following the ToT, an integrated training programme on blood and blood donor management was launched and is currently being cascaded to all 13 health facilities where the blood bank refrigerators were installed. The training covers key aspects of blood donor mobilization, recruitment and retention, donor eligibility assessment, blood collection, processing, storage, inventory management, and safe transfusion practices.

Together, these interventions represent a significant milestone in strengthening South Sudan’s blood transfusion services, building the capacity of health workers, and ensuring timely access to safe, quality-assured blood and blood products for patients across the country.

South Sudan has one of the highest maternal mortality rates globally, with post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) among the leading causes of maternal deaths. In such emergencies, access to safe blood is often the difference between life and death. Strengthening blood transfusion services therefore represents a vital investment in improving maternal and newborn health outcomes as well as emergency care services nationwide.
The 13 beneficiary health facilities include Al-Sabah Children’s Hospital in Juba, Aweil Hospital, Torit Hospital, Bentiu Hospital, Renk Hospital, Bor Hospital, Pariang Hospital, Kuajok Hospital, Yambio Hospital, Wau Hospital, Rumbek Hospital, Abyei Hospital, and Pibor Hospital.

Uganda: Speaker warns against using oversight committees to witch-hunt individuals

Source: APO


.

The Speaker, Jacob Marksons Oboth has called on Members of Parliament serving on public accounts committees to approach oversight as a duty to safeguard citizens’ trust rather than a platform for political score-settling.

“Your duty is not to hunt individuals nor to settle political scores. Your duty is to restore public confidence that government resources are used for the purposes approved by Parliament,” Oboth said.

The Speaker made the remarks while closing a two-day induction for the public accounts committees at Imperial Golf View Hotel in Entebbe, on Friday, 24 July 2026.

He outlined the principles of  fairness, independence, professionalism and timeliness emphasising that their success should be measured by improved public service delivery rather than the number of reports produced or witnesses summoned.

Oboth stressed that delayed accountability undermines Parliament’s oversight role and called for findings grounded on evidence, free from political influence.

The Speaker also urged Parliament to uphold the same standards of integrity it expects from public officials noting that unresolved audit queries often translate into poor service delivery.

“When the people of Uganda entrust us with the responsibility to oversee their resources, what exactly are they placing in our hands?… They are placing in our hands their trust,” Oboth said.

Public Accounts Committees are central to Parliament’s oversight function, examining government expenditure and audit reports to ensure public funds are used for their intended purposes.

Bontebok National Park announces phased reopening

Bontebok National Park will begin a phased reopening next month, following extensive rehabilitation work after the flood damage experienced in May 2026.

“Significant progress has been made in restoring affected infrastructure, making it possible to safely reopen parts of the park to visitors while rehabilitation work continues in other areas,” the South African National Parks (SANParks) said.

The first phase, which begins on 1 August 2026, will include six self-catering chalets, the camping site, and the Aloe Hill, Acacia, and Termite hiking trails.

The eight riverside chalets affected by the floods are still undergoing refurbishment and are therefore not yet available for reservations.

Die Stroom Picnic Site and the Bushbuck Trail will also remain closed until rehabilitation work is complete.

“A phased reopening approach will continue, with additional facilities and visitor experiences becoming available as restoration work progresses. Updates on the reopening of these facilities will be communicated as they become available.

“SANParks extends its sincere appreciation to visitors, tourism partners and stakeholders for their patience and continued support during the recovery process. The organisation looks forward to welcoming guests back to Bontebok National Park and remains committed to restoring the park’s facilities safely and responsibly.” – SAnews.gov.za
