Phelophepa Health Train on Bushbuckridge's doorstep
Bushbuckridge communities are encouraged to make use of the quality medical services provided at the Transnet Phelophepa Health Train, which has been stationed at the Ximhungwe Train Station since June 2. A team of dedicated health professionals is on board to provide quality healthcare, Monday to Friday until June 13. The Mpumalanga MEC for health, Sasekani Manzini, and the executive mayor of Bushbuckridge, Lydia Moroane, welcomed the train on June 3. The Phelophepa Health Train is a mobile clinic initiative that brings essential healthcare directly to communities, enhancing the reach and effectiveness of service delivery. It offers primary healthcare support, eye care, dental care, psychology and pharmacy services.

They need to bring along their ID, birth certificates or passports for children and some cash for the dispensary of some medication such as R5 for eye drops, R10 for dental services and R30 for a pair of glasses.

Community gathers in spirit for Africa Day
Well-known Mohlakeng pastor Buyi Zulu gave a spiritual, uplifting and motivational sermon at Mohlakeng St Paul's Anglican Church recently to commemorate Mother's Day and Africa Day activities. Pastor Buyi comes from a charismatic Christian background but was previously part of a more mainstream Anglican church that followed the ideals of the late Emeritus Archbishop Desmond Tutu, particularly his all-embracing approach, which promotes tolerance across both Christian and non-Christian faiths. Being Christian does not mean one must detach from their African identity. We must still find our sense of morality and behaviour through our shared humanity,' she said. In her address, she told women that they play an important role. 'God had a purpose when He created women. Creation could not be perfect without a woman. When women have a partnership with God, all will be good, things will happen.' She called on women in all spheres and dimensions, particularly in Mohlakeng, to go on their knees and pray for the youth, the abuse of drugs and recent criminal activities. According to Buyi, in the township, certain members of the community have been targets of robbery incidents in their households.
