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.

Oyo 2027: Ajadi Secures Oke-Ogun PDP Backing, Holds Closed-Door Talks with Samuel Adejumobi (Agbarapo)

 

Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Oke-Ogun zone of Oyo State on Tuesday received a leading governorship aspirant, Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, in Saki, pledging political backing for his ambition ahead of the party’s primaries.

 

The stakeholders’ meeting, held at Saki City Hall, drew party leaders, community figures, and grassroots mobilisers from across the zone, reflecting the growing momentum surrounding Ajadi’s consultations across the state.

 

Addressing party faithful, Ajadi reiterated his commitment to building on the achievements of the current administration led by Governor Seyi Makinde, noting that continuity and expansion of ongoing projects would form the cornerstone of his policy direction.

 

“I will leverage the developmental strides of the present administration and ensure that their impact is extended to more communities across the state. Governance must be progressive, not disruptive,” Ajadi stated.

 

He outlined key areas of focus, including workers’ welfare and pension administration, promising a disciplined financial structure that guarantees prompt salary payments.

 

“Our workers deserve dignity and certainty. Salaries will be paid on or before the 25th of every month, and our retirees will receive improved attention. A government that neglects its workforce cannot deliver sustainable development,” he added.

 

Ajadi also disclosed plans for extensive grassroots engagement across all 33 local government areas of the state, aimed at identifying peculiar needs and integrating them into policy formulation.

 

“This is not just about ambition; it is about understanding the people. I will be embarking on a statewide tour to listen, learn, and design policies that reflect the realities at the grassroots,” he said.

 

Party leaders and stakeholders from Saki West and the wider Oke-Ogun zone pledged their support for Ajadi, citing his accessibility, philanthropic engagements, and perceived capacity to lead the state. Among those who spoke were Alhaji Rasak Aderele (popularly known as Super), Adeleke Thomas (Baba Elepo), and Hon. Coach Kehinde Adetola, who described him as a unifying figure capable of strengthening the PDP’s electoral chances.

 

Addressing concerns about internal party dynamics, Ajadi reaffirmed his loyalty to the PDP, dismissing speculation about a possible defection.

 

“I remain committed to the PDP. This is my party, and I believe in its vision. My focus is on securing the mandate of our members through consultations and consensus-building,” he said.

 

Shortly after the stakeholders’ engagement, Ajadi proceeded to a closed-door strategic meeting with a fellow PDP gubernatorial aspirant, Samuel Ademola Adejumobi, popularly known as “Agbarapo.”

 

Adejumobi, a prominent political figure from Atisbo Local Government Area in the Oke-Ogun zone, is a former Majority Leader of the Oyo State House of Assembly and currently serves as Special Adviser on Legislative Matters to Governor Makinde. The meeting, held indoors away from the larger gathering, was seen as part of ongoing consultations and alignment efforts among aspirants within the party.

 

Observers note that such high-level engagements signal a strategic attempt to foster unity and strengthen internal cohesion ahead of the PDP governorship primaries.

 

With growing grassroots support and intensified consultations across Oke-Ogun and beyond, Ajadi’s political activities continue to gather pace, positioning him as a formidable contender in the race for the party’s ticket.

Four Times Primate Ayodele Warned About Resurfacing Of Covid-19 In Nigeria (VIDEOS)

W’ Cup Qualifiers: How Super Eagles Coach Ruined Nigeria’s Chances by Ignoring Primate Ayodele’s Warnings* By Adedayo Olumide

Four Times Primate Ayodele Warned About Resurfacing Of Covid-19 In Nigeria (VIDEOS)

 

Nigerians have been gripped by fear since the report of the COVID-19 variant in Cross River.

The Cross River State Ministry of Health has begun profiling and tracing individuals in the state who have been in contact with a Chinese national admitted after testing positive for the COVID-19 virus.

Not many people expected this to happen in Nigeria, because since 2020 when the global pandemic happened, there hasn’t been a single case of the virus in the country until yesterday, about five years later.

However, despite the fact that Nigeria was declared Covid-19 free, popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele, warned about three times that he foresees the virus coming back to Nigeria.

In his first prophecy regarding it, he warned that Nigerians should not pray to see Lassa fever and Covid-19 coming back in some areas.

“Let’s pray so that we don’t see Lassa Fever again. Let’s pray so that Covid will not come back in some areas”

This wasn’t given attention by many because it felt Nigeria has been immune to the virus. Everyone went about their business as usual, and in the midst of all that, Primate Ayodele warned intensely again.

“Let’s watch this for the World Health Organization, I see airborne disease, Covid in another dimension that can cause cough, cold, air disease, it’s a warning and that’s what the Lord said.”

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS9dj5UL5/

This time, he specifically called out the World Health Organization about re-occurrence of Covid; and gave directions regarding how it would happen. He also emphasized that it was what the Lord said, but how many people actually listen?

Again, during a church service, Primate Ayodele warned that Covid is coming and will happen in a different way compared to the previous one. He made it known that the way of contacting it will be different from the previous one.

“Also, Covid is coming, but the way it’s going to come will be different from the way we experienced it that time. The process of contacting it will be different from the previous one.”

Likewise, in his annual prophecy book titled Warnings to the Nations, Primate Ayodele warned that another round of COVID is coming. This book was released in July 2025.

“Another round of COVID will come up, and another disease epidemic. I foresee that a lot of money will be spent, and they will face some challenges in getting things right. The workers of this Body will be attacked, and there will be changes in leadership” (Page 36)

All of these have fulfilled the prophecies of Primate Ayodele. Beyond the prophecy fulfilment, this is a call to relevant authorities to always listen when God is warning them about anything through his prophet.
