We also spoke to Dr Tony Booysen – From the Western Cape Health Department. The Western Cape health department formed a task team to relieve the service pressures at community health care centres in Mitchell’s Plain and Khayelitsha. The team aims to develop and improve management systems of severe services within the primary health care facilities. Dr Booysen explained more.

Lastly we were joined Instudio by Alison and Lili Goldberg – They run a Community outreach project. Lili, a grade 10 pupil at St Cyprian High School is not like most girls her age who spend their spare time at the mall. Instead this 16 year old serves lunch to hundreds of homeless people in town. Lili and her mother run this project but need community involvement in order to feed more homeless people. If you want more information or you would like to help call 082 784 5053.
