Kabe Village residents brace for longer healthcare delays
Kabe village residents brace for further delays in the resumption of the park-home clinic project
Residents of Kabe village, located near Mahikeng in the North West province, are preparing for extended periods without access to healthcare services. The North West Health Department has yet to announce a specific date when the much-anticipated Kabe park-home clinic project will recommence. The construction of the clinic was halted due to concerns about the sandy nature of the designated land.
Tebogo Lekgethwane, a spokesperson for the department, explained the current situation: "Progress has been delayed, and this is while the department has outstanding quotations from the contractor for specialized work and supplies. Some of these requirements necessitate additional approvals." The Kabe park-home clinic project has a budget of approximately R6.3 million and was funded from the current financial year's budget.
The department has assured that resumption of work will occur once all outstanding submissions and approvals have been completed.
