Deputy Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
(1) notes that the Nchebeko Skills Consultancy Nursing College, which is registered with the Department of Higher Education and Training and the Health and Welfare Sector Education and Training Authority, has been launched in Limpopo's Kgapane township outside Modjadjiskloof;
(2) further notes that its mission is to train ancillary health workers in preparation for work in hospitals and health care centres across the country;
(3) acknowledges that the launch of this facility will contribute towards addressing the chronic shortage of qualified health workers who have the interests of the community at heart and furthermore provides opportunities for youth to enter the health sector and provides much needed employment opportunities; and
(4) takes this opportunity to welcome the initiative in partnership with the Limpopo department of health to provide quality primary health care to our people.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
