<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nVolgens Louw het premier Sylvia Lucas vroe\u00ebr vanjaar met haar staatsrede ges\u00ea dat die hospitaal vanjaar sou open. Dit het egter nie gebeur nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die DA gaan vrae aan Lucas rig om te verduidelik waarom die hospitaal nog nie sy deure geopen het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Louw s\u00ea dat indien die DA nie \u2019n bevredigende antwoord kry nie die party ander stappe sal oorweeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Louw s\u00ea ook dat dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, minister van gesondheid, die finale verantwoordelikheid dra en moet kom kyk wat op die perseel aangaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHierdie regering gee nie vir mense om wat aan psigiatriese toestande ly nie. As hulle wel omgegee het, sou hierdie plek al oop gewees het,\u201d het Louw Woensdag aan media ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy betreur ook die feit dat baie pasi\u00ebnte op W\u00eareldgeestesgesondheidsdag elders om hulp moet aanklop terwyl die gerief tans leeg en ongebruik staan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms.

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
