# Johannesburg se burgemeester, Dada Morero, het die metro se besluit verdedig om 3,8-miljard-rand by die Duitse staatsbeheerde ontwikkelingsbank, KfW, te leen.

Sowat 1,75-miljard-rand is opsygesit vir Johannesburg Water […]
# Die minister van Gesondheid, Aaron Motsoaledi, sê langdurige swak plekke in die openbare gesondheidstelsel moet dringend aangespreek word. Dit volg nadat die Gesondheidsombud bevind het die dood van ses gesondheidswerkers by mediese instellings in KwaZulu-Natal was nie die gevolg van swak werksomstandighede of afknouery en viktimisasie in die werkplek nie. Die ondersoek het wel […]

Die Nasionale Tesourie het tydelik 13,5-miljard-rand se toekennings teruggehou wat bedoel is vir 69 munisipaliteite landwyd, insluitend 3,6-miljard-rand vir Johannesburg.

# Minister of Health, Aaron Motsoaledi, says there is an urgent need to address longstanding weaknesses in the public healthcare system.
