Gauteng’s provincial executive council has called for progress in healthcare, infrastructure projects, social development, education, and public safety.

The provincial executive council convened in Johannesburg on Wednesday to address critical matters impacting the province’s development, with key outcomes from the meeting highlighting progress in healthcare, infrastructure projects, social development, education, and public safety.

Gauteng spokesperson Vuyo Mhaga said that the state of healthcare infrastructure was a top agenda item, with Health minister Aaron Motsoaledi presenting updates on the National Health Insurance (NHI) and providing a provincial assessment of healthcare facilities revealed an urgent need for structural repairs and upgrades.

To spearhead these efforts, a Cabinet Subcommittee chaired by Premier Panyaza Lesufi, alongside MECs Lebogang Maile, Jacob Mamabolo, and Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko, will oversee the implementation of these initiatives.

The Public Service Commission also cleared Lesiba Malotana’s appointment to the Department of Health, addressing previous allegations of impropriety.
