CITY OF MBOMBELA WORLD AIDS DAY COMMEMORATION.

06 December 2024

The Executive Mayor of the City of Mbombela Honourable Cllr Sibongile Makushe-Mazibuko hosted the municipal World AIDS Day commemoration at the Southern region, Umjindi today.

The Executive Mayor was flanked by Members of the mayoral committee, distinguished honourable Councillors, Department of Health, Department of Correctional Services, SANDF, Traditional Leaders, Members of the Mpumalanga Provincial AIDS Council (MPAC) and various Non Governmental Organisations in action to redress all HIV & AIDS related societal trends and issues.

In her address Makushe- Mazibuko emphatically stated that albeit the prevalence of progressive programs and medical interventions our people still need to be thoroughly educated on the various interlinked social problems associated with HIV & AIDS as there seems to be a regression noted by the government of the day which directly impacts government’s ambition of reaching a zero percent infection rate. This is due to the seemingly growing number of new infections recorded predominantly amongst young people.

She further said that today’s commemoration should serve as a starting & turning point for the municipality and its people to realise a zero percent infection rate in all communities surrounding and comprising the city.

The commemoration also saw multiple essential stakeholders undertaking to join hands with the city to help it realise this vision.

CITY OF MBOMBELA ENCOURAGES ALL SPAZA SHOP OWNERS TO REGISTER THEIR BUSINESSES.

MBOMBELA - The City of Mbombela Municipality continues to encourage active citizenry in the registration of businesses dealing with perishable foods within the jurisdiction of the City.

This is in line with the Business Act 2 of 1996, schedule 1.

Just more than five-hundred Spaza shop owners have come forward to register their businesses in all the 45 Wards of the City albeit the high number of shops in the communities where our people live.

The City spokesperson, Joseph Ngala says " It is worrying that out of the more than five hundred applicants, only 10% of them are South African citizens and the rest are in their majority, Asylum seekers."

Ngala further laments that "All traditional leaders in the form of Chieftancies, Tindvuna, Religious leaders Bafundisi bemabandla and all civic organisations must play an active role and advocate for the registration of these local businesses in the municipality to assist in enforcing compliance, safety measures and sustainable livelihoods for our children and residents."

The entire country is grappled with many food poisoning cases that have led to deaths and a high number of school children being admitted to hospital in the past three months.

All City of Mbombela municipal service centers such as Kabokweni, White River, Hazyview, Barberton, Kanyamazane and Mbombela will now be utilized in accepting applications.

And all Spaza shop owners are given until the 14th of December to register their businesses with the City of Mbombela municipality or face the full might of the law.
