THE Southern Stars Foundation (SSF) on Friday launched a free medical
check-up and treatment project at Magwegwe Hall for residents of the
suburb.<span id="more-322248"></span><br />

<b>Staff Reporter</b><br />
<br />
Magwegwe residents thronged the hall as they got a chance to be treated for different ailments.<br />
In an interview with Southern Eye, SSF president Mr.
Sindiso Mazibisa said the project was in conjunction with six medical
doctors and nurses from Mpilo Hospital and United Bulawayo<br />
Hospitals.<br />
<br />

“We had realised that the health system in the area was beyond the
reach of many residents, as they cannot afford to be treated and have
check-ups,” he said.<br />
Mazibisa said he understood
the problems the residents faced in accessing medical help because he
grew up in Magwegwe.<br />
He said the medical outreach was his way of giving back to the community.<br />
A medical doctor from Mpilo, Robert Nyajena, said medical
practitioners from the hospitals saw it fit to partner with SSF to
voluntarily assist the community in accessing free medical check-ups.<br />
“We had seen it wise to get involved as medical practitioners and give free medical check-ups and tablets,” he said.<br />
“We also checked for blood pressure and temperature including the Body Mass Index.”<br />
One of the residents, Siphilisiwe Ndlovu could not hide her excitement.<br />
She described the programme as helpful and an act of compassion towards the residents.<br />
“This has helped us a lot because it is usually hard for us to find
money for medical treatment fees in hospitals and for transport to visit
those hospitals,” she added.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290873440524740426.post-28650474449015137652018-08-23T13:09:00.000-07:002019-05-02T00:27:59.603-07:00Mazibisa to set up empowerment programme<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A PROMINENT Bulawayo-based lawyer is set to launch an empowerment programme for entrepreneurs in the Matabeleland region.<br />

Sindiso Mazibisa of Cheda and Partners law firm and president of the
Southern Stars Foundation (SSF), will launch the Mthwakazi Empowerment
Fund at Magwegwe Hall today.<br />
<br />
In a statement released yesterday, SSF co-ordinator Khumbulani
Malinga said the empowerment fund, will run under the theme “Development
you can trust, Empowerment you can touch”.<br />
<br />
“The project will be launched by the foundation’s president Mazibisa, a prominent lawyer in the city,” Malinga said.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
He said the project was brought about by the realisation that the people
in the southern region had been promised empowerment that was
“intangible, tortoise moving and seemingly a pie in the sky, by many
institutions within the government.”<br />
<br />
“This has forced our people to lose hope and embrace despair,” Malinga said.<br />
<br />
“The foundation noted with great indignation that our people have
been taken for a ride by (people) harbouring selfish, egocentric and
narrow agendas without the people at heart.”<br />
<br />
He said it was high time the foundation took a stand, filled in the
gap and worked with all people from the southern region to deliver real
empowerment programmes.<br />
<br />
“The project is at the same time a corporate responsibility
obligation by the president of the foundation Mazibisa, to give to the
community that natured and groomed him.<br />
<br />
“Thus the first port of call is the Magwegwe community where he was born and bred,” Malinga added.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
