DURBAN - Higher Education, Science and Technology Minister Dr Blade Nzimande embarked on an oversight visit yesterday to Vryheid in the Zululand District Municipality, and planned to inspect the Covid-19 vaccination centre at the Vryheid District Hospital.
The inspection comes as part of the recent Cabinet decision to deploy ministers and deputy ministers to undertake physical oversight on government development programmes in keeping with the District Development Model, an initiative that has been started to fast-track economic recovery.
Joined by KwaZulu-Natal Human Settlements and Public Works MEC Jomo Sibiya, Zululand District mayor Thulasizwe Buthelezi and AbaQulusi Local Municipality acting mayor Mncedisi Maphisa, Nzimande was briefed by Vryheid District Hospital chief executive Fikile Ngema on plans for the roll-out of the vaccines.
