Emergency energy equipment handed over to Mpumalanga Health Department By Lwazi Raul-Shongwe and Kopano Dibakwane Load shedding has meant more than just darkness for nurses at rural clinics in Mpumalanga. It carried the high possibility of vaccines warming in fridges without power, oxygen machines going silent, and babies born by torchlight. Fortunately, that reality took a step toward change with the handover of a critical lifeline in the form of solar power systems, 7 diesel generators, and inventories donated to keep healthcare facilities running when the grid can’t. The energy equipment, officially handed over by Mpumalanga MEC for DPWRT(Department of Public Works, Roads and Transport), Thulasizwe Thomo, was received by Health MEC, Sasekani Manzini, at the Mpumalanga International Fresh Produce Market, in Mbombela, on Thursday 21 May 2026. According to MEC Thomo, the energy equipment was donated by the People’s Republic of China through the South African Minister of Electricity, Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa. “ These systems will provide a significant boost to alternative energy solutions for healthcare facilities, ensuring that clinics and hospitals are able to continue delivering essential services during power interruptions and emergencies,” said MEC Thomo. When the power goes out, it isn’t just lights that fail. It’s theatre equipment, incubators, lab machines, and electronic patient records. Staff improvise, but improvising costs time, and in healthcare, time is often the difference between recovery and crisis. The handover reflects a broader push to shield critical services from South Africa’s energy challenges. Healthcare has been prioritised because the stakes are literally life and death.
