Gauteng Health MEC, Mr Brian Hlongwa will on Thursday, 2 April 2009 open the
new Mandela Sisulu Clinic in Orlando East, Soweto. The Mandela Sisulu Clinic
was built on the grounds of Phomolong Clinic, which rose to prominence during
the 1976 uprising when many of the children injured received medical treatment
at these premises. Thereafter it became a tourist attraction as a result of its
proximity to Hector Peterson Memorial and Vilakazi Street where Nelson
Mandelaâs house is.
Mrs Albertina Sisulu, African National Congress (ANC) stalwart Winnie
Madikizela Mandela and Gauteng Premier Mr Paul Mashatile will be attending the
event.
Prior to the official programme, Gauteng Health MEC will lead a health fun
walk from the Sisulu family house in Magang Street to Mbela Street in Dube,
Soweto.
