Description

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Dee Blackie, Children’s Memorial Institute board member and also founder and director of the Sensory Space about the latest update on their power crisis. The Children’s Memorial Institute faced a blackout reportedly linked to a R41.5-million debt, compounded by failed backup generators, raising urgent questions about contingency planning and the resilience of critical health infrastructure.
