NUSA Witbank Ward 12 to Host Free Medical Outreach in Mpumalanga
“A Call to Serve and Unite the Community”

By George Omagbemi Sylvester | Sahara Weekly

In a time when healthcare remains out of reach for many underserved communities, especially migrants in South Africa, the Nigerian Union South Africa (NUSA), Mpumalanga Chapter is setting a noble example. Under the forward-thinking leadership of Hon. Agha Nnachi, Chairman of Witbank Ward 12, NUSA has announced a Free Medical Outreach to be held in Mpumalanga Province.

The initiative, themed “A Call to Serve and Unite the Community,” is much more than a medical drive; it’s a show of unity, philanthropy and social responsibility. It represents a people-driven effort to bridge the gap between need and access, particularly in healthcare.

Serving with Purpose: Health as a Human Right
Healthcare is not a privilege but a fundamental human right. Recognizing this, NUSA Mpumalanga is stepping in to ensure that Nigerians and local residents across the province, especially those who cannot afford healthcare services, have access to free medical consultations, screenings, medications and referrals.

This outreach is anchored in the belief that true leadership is about service. Hon. Agha Nnachi embodies this ethos. Since assuming leadership in Ward 12, his tenure has been marked by inclusive programs and empowerment-focused initiatives. He continues to break ground as a unifier and mobilizer of both people and resources.

What the Outreach Will Offer
The Free Medical Outreach is designed to address common and urgent health issues facing communities today. The services to be offered include:

General medical consultations

Blood pressure checks and blood sugar screenings

Preventive health education

Free distribution of essential medications

Referrals for specialized or follow-up treatment

The medical team will be spearheaded by Dr Omotunde Erejuwa, a highly respected practitioner operating in both Witbank and Pretoria. His involvement ensures the outreach will be medically sound, professionally run and guided by best practices.

Full Preparation and Logistics in Place
Organizers have finalized all necessary arrangements to make the event seamless and impactful:

A central, accessible venue has been secured to accommodate a large number of attendees.

The event will be equipped with diagnostic kits, medications and medical consumables.

A volunteer management team is in place to handle logistics, registration and crowd control.

COVID-19 safety protocols will be observed throughout the event.

This meticulous planning demonstrates the organizers’ commitment to excellence and safety.

“This is not just an act of charity, it is a statement that community health is everybody’s business,” said Hon. Nnachi.

Reinforcing NUSA’s Vision
The medical outreach is a physical manifestation of NUSA’s mission to protect, empower and serve Nigerians in South Africa. Over the years, NUSA has transitioned from being a voice for migrant advocacy to becoming a catalyst for development, inclusion and social impact.

This event positions Witbank Ward 12 as a trailblazer, showing how local chapters can deliver real change. It also highlights NUSA’s capacity to not only address migrant-related challenges but also support host communities in meaningful ways.

Extending the Invitation: A United Community Effort
The success of this outreach hinges not only on planning but also community participation. NUSA Witbank Ward 12 is extending a formal invitation to all Nigerians, local residents and South Africans across Mpumalanga and neighboring provinces.

Whether you are in need of medical attention or looking to support a life-changing initiative, your presence will make a difference. Volunteers, healthcare workers and well-wishers are encouraged to take part.

Organizers also call upon:

NUSA National Executives

Chapters across South Africa

Faith-based groups

Local government officials

African community leaders

Let this be an opportunity to strengthen community bonds and express solidarity in action.

Ubuntu in Action: “I Am Because We Are”
In the spirit of Ubuntu (the African philosophy that “I am because we are”) this outreach embodies the communal values that have long defined both Nigerian and South African cultures.

It is not just an event. It is a celebration of our shared humanity, a call to unity and a statement that despite our differences, we can build together. In a world where xenophobia and division continue to fester, this outreach offers a healing alternative: partnership, care, and understanding.

Hon. Agha Nnachi Speaks from the Heart
Speaking to Sahara Weekly, Hon. Agha Nnachi emphasized the deeper meaning of the outreach:

“This initiative is our love letter to the community. We are showing that Nigerians in South Africa are not only takers but are givers, contributors and patriots. I urge all NUSA leaders and members to stand with us in this mission. Let us bring healing to our people and remind the world of our strength and unity.”

A Model for Other Communities
This outreach can serve as a template for diaspora communities globally. Whether in the UK, the US, Canada, or other parts of Africa, Nigerian communities must look inward and identify the areas where they can contribute meaningfully.

NUSA Witbank Ward 12 has proven that with vision, unity and leadership, communities can become centers of hope, not just hubs of survival. Other NUSA chapters and African unions across South Africa should replicate this model prioritizing people over politics, service over speeches.

Event Details
The outreach date, venue, and time will be publicly announced through official NUSA communication channels and community posters. Community members are advised to arrive early for proper registration and smooth coordination.

Final Call: Let Us Serve Together
To every reader of Sahara Weekly, here is your call to action: Be part of something bigger than yourself. Whether through volunteering, spreading the word, donating medical supplies or simply attending and benefiting from the services, you have a role to play.

Let us unite to uplift one another. Let us redefine what community leadership looks like. And let us make history in Mpumalanga, one healed heart, one grateful patient and one united people at a time.

Children’s Day: ‘Build Futures, Not Just Speeches’ — Ajadi Urges Govt to Invest in Schools, Healthcare, Safe Spaces for Children

As nations across the globe commemorate International Children’s Day today, May 27, 2025, a chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the South-West and Chairman of Bullion Records, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has called on Nigerian leaders at all levels to prioritize investment in infrastructure that directly benefits children.

Ajadi, in a statement released to mark the special day, emphasized that the true measure of a nation’s commitment to democracy is reflected in how well it nurtures and protects its youngest citizens. According to him, “Children are not just the leaders of tomorrow; they are active citizens of today whose rights, welfare, and education must be prioritized if Nigeria truly wants to move forward.”

He said many children in Nigeria still face serious challenges, including poor access to quality education, inadequate healthcare, unsafe living conditions, and child labour. He urged both federal and state governments to invest significantly in educational infrastructure, public health systems, and safe recreational spaces to give Nigerian children a chance to thrive.

“In countries with strong democratic values, children enjoy free and quality education, health care services, and the basic amenities needed for growth and development. We cannot continue to celebrate Children’s Day with mere words and festivities. We need action. We need commitment,” Ajadi stated.

Children’s Day, which originated from the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1925 and later recognized universally by the United Nations, is a reminder of the shared responsibility governments and societies have toward the youngest members of their communities. While many developed countries celebrate the day with events showcasing advancements in child welfare, Nigeria still battles widespread child poverty, out-of-school children, and preventable diseases.

Ajadi, a vocal advocate of youth empowerment and education, also used the opportunity to commend the resilience of Nigerian children despite the country’s many socio-economic difficulties. “It is heartbreaking to see millions of children with dreams and potential walk long distances to schools without roofs, sit on bare floors, or fall ill due to lack of clean water or basic medical care. The government must see this as a call to conscience,” he said.

He added that democracy should not only be defined by elections and political activities but by the visible dividends that reach every citizen, particularly the most vulnerable.

Ambassador Ajadi, who also runs philanthropic initiatives through Bullion Records and other personal foundations, has previously sponsored educational outreach programs and advocated for greater youth participation in policy-making.

He reiterated his Children’s Day message with a call to action: “Let us build a Nigeria where every child, regardless of background, has access to quality education, nutritious food, clean water, and a safe environment. That is the only way we can build a new Nigeria we all dream of.”
