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.

In light of recent developments, the UKA has issued an official public disclaimer cautioning citizens, followers, and the general public about the activities of individuals promoting and operating a coin or platform not officially recognized by the Atlantian Gold Coin (ATC).

As the newly appointed Minister, Queen Amb Dr. Anyatonwu has announced that all matters pertaining to the 5 billion humanitarian project in UKA should be directed to her office. This includes the newly captured NGOs, which are now required to report to the Office of Humanitarian Affairs, ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of humanitarian resources.

“We are committed to transparency and accountability in our humanitarian efforts,” said Queen Amb Dr. Anyatonwu. “We urge all stakeholders to work with us to ensure the success of our initiatives and protect our citizens from unauthorized activities. We will not tolerate any form of exploitation or mismanagement of humanitarian funds, and we will take all necessary measures to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.”

The UKA has assured its citizens and the international community that it is taking all necessary measures to recover the hijacked funds and bring the perpetrators to justice. The appointment of Queen Amb Dr. Anyatonwu is seen as a significant step towards achieving this goal and ensuring that humanitarian efforts are aligned with the UKA’s values and principles.
