Access to quality healthcare is essential to building healthier communities and improving the quality of life of residents.
Capricorn District Municipality (CDM), represented by the MMC for Finance, Cllr Maria Ramokolo, joined government and private-sector stakeholders for the official handover of the newly constructed Dithabaneng Clinic in Lepelle-Nkumpi Local Municipality on Friday, 30 October 2026.
The facility, developed as part of a Sibanye project, was officially handed over by the Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, Mr Gwede Mantashe.
The clinic formed part of Sibanye’s Social and Labour Plan (SLP) commitments, which seek to improve the living conditions of communities in mining areas while contributing to socio-economic development.
For the Dithabaneng community, the new healthcare facility marked an important milestone in improving access to essential medical services closer to home. It was expected to reduce the burden of travelling long distances to access healthcare, making services more accessible and convenient for residents.
The handover also highlighted the importance of collaboration between government and the private sector in addressing community needs, strengthening service delivery and supporting sustainable development in mining host communities.
Through partnerships and shared responsibility, government and the private sector continued to play an important role in bringing essential services closer to the people.
Bringing healthcare closer to communities is an investment in healthier lives and a better future.
