Minister of Higher Education, Blade Nzimande, addressed the media on Sunday regarding his decision to dissolve the NSFAS board, citing several reasons for the action and explaining the move to place it under administration.

On Mother’s Day, May 12th was also Nurse Day and the me for this day was “investing in nurses and the economic power of care”.  This emphasizes a global call to reshape perceptions about nursing. Empowering nurses does not only enhance patient outcomes through nurse-led care, but it also makes significant contributions to economic and societal wellbeing. Sandile Mbele, Executive Director at AfroCentric Corporate Solutions says, “The true value of nurses will come when we move away from a GP-centric healthcare system towards one that is more nurse-led. Nurses are capable of performing many tasks that encumber GPs and create a bottleneck in healthcare outputs. They are critical to the delivery of primary healthcare.” Sandile joins us this evening to talk about the importance of empowering nurses in shaping the future of the healthcare system.
