Ngomhlaka-1 Juni 2026, cishe i-75% yokulungiswa kwengqalasizinda eCharlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital yayisiqediwe, kanti inani eliphelele lokusetshenziswa kwemali elibikiwe lifinyelele ku-R353,669,357.83, ngokusho koMnyango Wezempilo. Lesi sibhedlela, esonakele kakhulu ngomlilo ngo-Ephreli 2021, kulindeleke ukuthi sisebenze ngokugcwele ngemuva kokuphothulwa kwemisebenzi yokulungisa ehleliwe ngo-Agasti 2026.

Imininingwane Yezindleko Nokubheka

UNgqongqoshe Wezempilo u-Aaron Motsoaledi, esitatimendeni, uqinisekise ukuthi izindleko kuze kube manje zihlanganisa izinsizakalo zobungcweti, ukubhidliza, ukuvuselelwa kwesakhiwo, imisebenzi yesikhashana, uphenyo olukhethekile, kanye nokushintsha ingqalasizinda yemishini nekagesi. UMotsoaledi uthe, “Lokhu kusetshenziswa kwemali kuhlanganisa izinsizakalo zobungcweti, ukubhidliza, ukuvuselelwa kwesakhiwo, imisebenzi yesikhashana, uphenyo olukhethekile, ukushintsha ingqalasizinda yemishini nekagesi, kanye nemisebenzi yokwakha ehlobene nayo.”

Isilinganiso sokuqala sephrojekthi yokulungisa sasingu-R1.7 billion, kodwa lokhu kwabuyekezwa kwaba ngu-R1.1 billion ngoMeyi 2022. Ikomidi elizokwengamela nokusheshisa ukulungiswa lasungulwa ngoMeyi 2026, eliholwa nguNdunankulu, futhi belilokhu lihlangana masonto onke. UMotsoaledi uchaze wathi, “Kuzoba nomhlangano njalo ngoLwesibili ukubheka uhlelo futhi lowo mhlangano uzoholwa nguNdunankulu.”

Ingemuva kanye nomugqa wesikhathi wephrojekthi

Umlilo wango-Ephreli 2021 wabangela ukuphazamiseka okukhulu kwezinsizakalo zezempilo eGoli, waqokomisa izinselelo eziqhubekayo zengqalasizinda kanye nokuphepha ezibhedlela zomphakathi zaseGauteng. Ukulungiswa kokusebenza kwesibhedlela kuhlolwe umphakathi, okuhlanganisa nophenyo loMvikeli Womphakathi kanye nezidingo ezivela ezinyunyaneni zezempilo.

Ngemva komlilo, inqubo yokulungisa ibhekane nokubambezeleka okuhlukahlukene kanye nokulungiswa kwezindleko. Ngokusho koMnyango Wezempilo, ukulungiswa manje kulindeleke ukuthi kuqedwe ngo-Agasti 2026, kuphele iminyaka emihlanu ngemuva komonakalo wokuqala. Ababambiqhaza emkhakheni kahulumeni kanye namaqembu eziguli bacele ukucaca okukhulu kanye nokuphuthuma ukuze kugwenywe ukubambezeleka okwengeziwe ekubuyiselweni ngokugcwele kwezinsizakalo ezikhethekile kwesinye sezikhungo ezibalulekile zezemfundo ephakeme eGauteng.

Imihlangano yamakomidi yamasonto onke kulindeleke ukuthi iqhubeke kuze kube yilapho kuqedwa iphrojekthi, lapho iziphathimandla zizimisele ukugcina umphakathi unolwazi ngenqubekela phambili.
