WIN: Linctagon® hampers up for grabs valued at R1 000 each!
Two lucky readers stand a chance to win Linctagon hampers to help with the symptoms of colds and flu, no matter the time of year! When we think of colds and flu, most of us associate feeling under the weather with the cold, winter months. However, getting sick can strike at any time of the year, including summer which can catch people off guard when they least expect it. In fact, being prepared for the flu needs to be done all year long. Linctagon® products (both adult and junior) has included Pelargonium sidoides root extract as a key ingredient in its products for years, noting its significant impact on symptom relief and recovery speed of cold and flu. In simple terms, this means that it may help you feel better faster. Pelargonium sidoides, also known as the South African geranium, is a herbal remedy that has been used for centuries to treat respiratory infections by the inhabitants of Africa. Its efficacy in supporting the symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract infection symptoms is well supported by clinical studies, and its antioxidant properties help to support the body's immune system and offer anti-inflammatory support. To help navigate the symptoms of colds and flu, each Linctagon® hamper will include Linctagon®-C Plus Effervescent, Linctagon® cough syrup, Linctagon®-C broad spectrum relief, Linctagon®-C Junior broad spectrum relief, Linctagon® throat spray and Linctagon® Junior effervescent, as well as a luxurious Linctagon® branded blanket.

Government to act on March and March blocking access to hospitals
In this video, we unpack the disturbing wave of protests targeting foreign nationals at public health facilities. New parents like Christian Tchizungu Kwigomba were turned away with their newborn twins, denied a crucial follow-up appointment. He warns that the March and March Movement's tactics could turn deadly if people continue being refused essential care. We also share the account of Crispin Hemson, who was allegedly assaulted by members of March and March last week. Such incidents fly in the face of South Africa's constitutional commitment to dignity and equality. Section 27 of the Constitution and the National Health Act guarantee everyone the right to health care, regardless of immigration status. The Department of Health has condemned identity-document demands at hospital gates. While concerns about undocumented migrants are real, blocking access to care violates the law and endangers lives. Authorities urge activists to channel grievances through lawful channels and propose sustainable solutions that balance public resources with human rights. Key government directives: - Protesters must respect constitutional rights and health-care legislation. - Law enforcement agencies to uphold the law without fear or favour. - Aggrieved parties encouraged to engage in policy dialogue, not street action. - Condemnation of anyone entering South Africa solely to exploit health services. The South African Police Service (SAPS), in collaboration with the Department of Health and Public Order Police units, has activated an operational plan to safeguard clinics and hospitals. A zero-tolerance approach will be applied to any form of intimidation or lawlessness. Officers, alongside Home Affairs, will continue arresting and prosecuting immigration-offence suspects.

Motsoaledi pleased no donor funds were wasted in illicit procurement of oxygen plant
JOHANNESBURG - Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi said he's pleased no donor funding was wasted in the illegal procurement of service providers to supply the infrastructure to provide oxygen to 55 hospitals. Motsoaledi said Tuesday's release of the findings of the forensic report ordered by Public Works Minister Dean Macpherson clears his department of any wrongdoing in the more than R800 million tender. The investigation found the CEO of the Independent Development Trust, Tebogo Malaka, failed to exercise the necessary oversight over ballooning costs. ALSO READ: Macpherson on irregular oxygen plant tender after R13m spend: 'We have effectively lost' Minister Aaron Motsoaledi says the finalisation of this investigation removes the dark cloud that's been hanging over the health department. Motsoaledi said those who've been implicated in wrongdoing - not only committed financial corruption - but deprived patients of urgent life-support in the form of oxygen. Motsoaledi's spokesperson Foster Mohale, said: 'Minister Motsoaledi is pleased that the Department of Health lost nothing and all the money that has been donated by the Global Fund is safe. It would have been a sad day if donor funds' money was to disappear under our watch.' The tender has since been removed from the IDT and is now under the management of the development bank. Motsoaledi said that with the finalisation of the forensic investigation, the remaining work will be expedited to conclude the project.
