SPECIAL REPORT | MISSING FILES, LONG QUEUES AND FRUSTRATED PATIENTS - WHAT IS HAPPENING AT STANZA BOPAPE?

SPECIAL REPORT | MISSING FILES, LONG QUEUES AND FRUSTRATED PATIENTS - WHAT IS HAPPENING AT STANZA BOPAPE? Mamelodi News | Mamelodi East | Tshwane Region 6 Patients at Stanza Bopape Health Centre are raising concerns about alleged administrative problems that they say are making access to healthcare increasingly frustrating. According to a social media post shared by Deputy Chief Whip Mathews under the hashtag #IM_HERE_AT_STANZA_BOPAPE, patients reportedly wait between three and four hours just to retrieve their medical files. The post alleges that some patients are subsequently told their files cannot be found, forcing them to open new files or return to the facility on another day. For people who are sick and seeking medical attention, such delays can add to an already difficult experience. PATIENTS ALLEGEDLY SENT HOME The complaints suggest that patients sometimes leave without receiving the assistance they came for after being told their files are missing. The post also claims that ...

SPECIAL REPORT | Why Teffo is Still Not Allowed to Practise Law

  SPECIAL REPORT | GAUTENG HIGH COURT, JOHANNESBURG Disbarred advocate Malesela Teffo caused a dramatic scene at the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Monday, 30 August, when he arrived in full legal robes and attempted to bring an application through his foundation on behalf of businessman Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala and his four co-accused. But Teffo was not appearing as the accused persons' legal representative. All five accused already have lawyers representing them, and their respective legal teams rejected Teffo's intervention, reportedly telling the court that his involvement was unnecessary and was wasting the court's time and money. Judge Cassim Moosa subsequently ordered Teffo to leave the courtroom until he could provide proof that he had been readmitted to the roll of advocates. The dramatic courtroom appearance comes after the Legal Practice Council (LPC) confirmed that Teffo has never been readmitted to the legal profession. So why can't Teffo practise law?...

  Mamelodi News | Temba, Hammanskraal A heated dispute has erupted within the Rural Kasi Rides (RKR) Crew and 4G Racing circles after Tshiamo Ntsai Maputla from Temba, Hammanskraal, accused fellow stance racing personality Amanda Ngoma from Mabopane of allegedly pursuing men who are already in relationships.

😳 ENTERTAINMENT | MZANSI DEFENDS STHOKO AFTER SHOPRITE PHOTOS SPARK ONLINE TROLLING

Mamelodi News | South Africa  South African actress Innocent Sadiki, best known for playing Sthoko on Skeem Saam, has found herself at the centre of an unexpected social media debate after photos of her shopping at Shoprite were shared online. A social media user posted photos of the actress and described the sight as “sad”, apparently suggesting that seeing her shopping at the supermarket was evidence that she was struggling. The post quickly attracted criticism, with many social media users defending Sadiki and questioning why doing ordinary grocery shopping should be interpreted as a sign that someone is struggling. Mzansi users pointed out that celebrities are also ordinary people who need to buy groceries, run errands and live their lives away from television screens. Others criticised the decision to photograph and publicly comment on Sadiki's personal shopping trip, arguing that the actress had done nothing wrong. The incident has once again sparked conversations about how c...
