City celebrates its 650-strong nursing workforce this International Nurses Day

The theme this year highlights the importance of investing in nurses' well-being and recognising their contribution to global health and economic stability.

City Health employs nearly 650 nursing staff members, aged between 24 and 64 – nearly 50 of whom are male. They hold various qualifications, ranging from Enrolled Nursing Assistants to Clinical Nurse Practitioners who are able to perform tasks that are typically done by physicians, including diagnosing, treating, and managing illnesses. 'Nurses are the lifeblood of our primary healthcare service. They are the quiet strength behind every immunisation campaign, chronic club, wellness outreach, and emergency intervention. Their presence means continuity, trust, and unwavering care, often in the most challenging circumstances,' said Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Francine Higham. <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"><img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/Intl.%20Nurses%20Day%202_Chapel%20Street%202025.jpeg" alt="" style="width:1069px;" /></figure>In 2025, the <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://www.icn.ch/how-we-do-it/campaigns/international-nurses-day&data=05%7c02%7cJanine.Willemans%40capetown.gov.za%7ca1d53de04ee14cf5f85408dd904ecde4%7cff731495b3c844b393f86fca8fc5a699%7c0%7c0%7c638825390350054282%7cUnknown%7cTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7c0%7c%7c%7c&sdata=8Qikxn1YuJj45zl9P/KcWP%2BwlrPP/AkIWzEhjKqXxFs%3D&reserved=0">International Council of Nurses is </a>highlighting the importance of investing in nurses' well-being and recognising their contribution to global health and economic stability.<div> Nurses account for more than 80% of the workforce in the primary healthcare space. City Health provides support for career advancement through bursaries and financial assistance for further studies, leadership and management training. Staff also have access to the City's Employee Assistance Programme which offers confidential psychosocial support, as well as integrated wellness support focusing specifically on mental health. Their output bears testament to the load that nurses carry. In Cape Town, more than 230 000 residents are receiving life-saving anti-retroviral treatment, with nearly 99% receiving their treatment at a primary health care facility. In 2024, City Health saw an increase of 61% in the number of TB tests, as staff championed the implementation of Targeted Universal Testing for TB (TUTT). And, in the 2023/24 financial year, City clinics screened nearly 179 000 clients for diabetes, and more than 600 000 for hypertension – two of the most common and potentially deadly lifestyle diseases. 'To our nurses … your work is not just a job, it's a calling. You are the hope in our communities, the strength in our teams, and the reason many of our clients return with a smile. Thank you for choosing to serve, to lead, and to care. You are not just the frontline, you are the lifeline. To our clients, help us celebrate these amazing individuals by adhering to treatment regimens and staying true to the health advice that is so critical to mitigating your risk of disease,' added Councillor Higham. </div>

Resurfacing of roads in Bellville

The work is planned to take place until mid-June, weather permitting and provided there are no delays.

The work is planned to take place until mid-June, weather permitting and provided there are no delays. • To limit the impact on road users, the physical work will take place outside of the peak traffic periods from 09:00 to 15:30. • Resurfacing work will happen at night, between 19:00 and 04:30 from Sunday evenings to Friday mornings. No work will be done on Saturdays. Residents and business owners must please note that some lanes will be closed during the nightwork period and to anticipate noise during this time. The project details: • The resurfacing and rehabilitation works include the milling of the existing roads and filling it with a new asphalt surfacing layer; all-in-all this entails work on approximately 1km of road surface • Isolated repairs to channels and kerbs, where necessary • All road markings removed during the process will also be reinstated‘This project forms part of the City’s Pavement Management System maintenance on existing roads. We know roadworks are disruptive and inconvenient. However, regular maintenance prolongs the longevity of our road network and ensures we keep Capetonians moving. There will be some congestion as a result of the work and I advise road users to consider alternative routes as far as possible,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.Traffic moving in both directions will be affected, however, flag personnel will direct traffic through temporary detours around the demarcated work area. Vehicles parked on the road and obstructing the maintenance work will be moved or towed.Road users are advised to be cautious, lower their speed, pay attention to road signs, be vigilant in and around the roadworks area, look out for uneven road surfaces, be mindful of the construction workers, and factor in longer travel times.
