Hospital laundry backlog: Interim and long-term fixes 'being implemented'
The Gauteng health department says it is assessing its laundry equipment, to determine which machines need to be replaced and repaired, to ensure the supply of clean linen at hospitals. This as it acknowledged a 'frequent breakdown of laundry machinery'. This week patients were given plastic sheeting to lie on and have had to bring their own blankets to the Bheki Mlangeni Hospital in Soweto, according to provincial legislature member Jack Bloom. Six months ago, large piles of laundry were seen at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital. On Wednesday the department said there was 'a backlog due to machinery breakdown challenges' at the Bheki Mlangeni hospital, which relies on laundry services from Bara. The provincial Dunswart Laundries in Boksburg was roped in to deal with the backlog. 'Additionally, the hospital management is exploring options to temporarily outsource laundry services to further address this issue,' the department said. MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko said the province has received R100m from the national department for the 2025/26 financial year to support its recapitalisation programme which aims to refurbish and replace outdated critical equipment and machinery in hospitals. 'Out of this amount, R50m is specifically set aside to address laundry machinery challenges across hospitals in the province,' she said. 'As part of this initiative, an assessment of the equipment and machinery has been conducted to determine which machines require refurbishing and which ones need to be replaced. This evaluation will ensure that we address the needs of facilities more effectively.' TimesLIVE

Shamiso Mosaka takes on Turkey for a Brazilian butt lift
The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) takeover in South Africa is evidently still in full swing! The latest celeb to book a surgical getaway to Turkey for a BBL is Born Into Fame star and radio presenter Shamiso Mosaka. After rumours of a pregnancy made their rounds on social media, the 26-year-old media and internet personality put them to bed and shared with her supporters on Instagram her journey landing in Turkey and being treated at the Mono Clinic, the same plastic surgery facility that actor Khanyi Mbau entrusted with her latest procedure, a blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery. Shamiso gave some insight into the luxurious treatment she received at the clinic and it's adjacent hotel and urged those watching to 'not take a BBL lightly.' 'I came to a foreign country by myself to have a surgery that is not child's play. A BBL is not a joke. Please understand me when I say this, it's not a f*****g joke. 'But I couldn't have been better taken care of. I mean, from airport transfers to the beautiful hospital room I had to my amazing surgeon Dr Eren [Ersöz]. Also, the hospital staff, the nurses in general were just amazing.' Shamiso shares on her highlighted Instagram Stories that she got round the clock care after the procedure with an on-site nurse who also periodically did the lymphatic drainage massages needed to help with post-operative recovery. Getting a BBL requires one to set aside weeks of recovery. Dr Brian Monaisa, the head of plastic surgery at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital and founder of Marang Aesthetics, previously told TRUELOVE, 'After a BBL, it is important to stay off the new bum for the full three weeks to encourage fat survival.' In a post-operation video shared by the clinic, Shamiso shares her experience with her BBL journey. 'I came all the way to Izmir, Turkey, to Mono Clinic to get a Brazilian butt lift done. Everything was easy, was made easy for me, where I was going to be picked up at the airport, I was picked up on time, I was then taken to the hospital. I got to rest, I got my blood taken and all my vitals taken. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mono Clinic 🍃 (@monocosmeticsurgery) 'I then got to meet my surgeon. He wanted to do what I wanted on my body so we had the same vision for the results that I wanted. I was in the hospital for a night and they made sure I was good. My drips were always checked, someone checked in on me every 30 minutes to an hour so I felt really taken care of.'
