ZAZI CAMPAIGN
Hospital team adopted Old Mill High
School – Empangeni as its school and
launched the “ZAZI” campaign which
is aims at encouraging children espe-
cially girls to know themselves and
focus on their future. Boys are also not
left aside as they should support girls
in making their dreams come true by
treating them as their own sisters in
order to reduce the high teenage preg-
nancy rate. Motivational talks given
to learners and the teams went to clas-
ses motivating children to focus on
their careers and distance themselves
from social activities that would de-
stroy their future. After the presenta-
tion that was done, learners were given
green ribbons as a symbol of “ZAZI”
just to commit themselves on improv-
ing their lives and taking good care and
be proud of themselves.
Other than normal

ceived by patients on a
daily basis, High Risk
Clinic staff members
were so kind to give
soup and bread to all
patients during this spe-
cial day.
