MEDIA ALERT
Thursday, 03 December 2020
The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa (DENOSA) in Gauteng will host an event to honour all nurses in Gauteng who passed away during the COVID-19 period and honour all those who continue to stand firm in the fight against the pandemic in the province as the second wave is becoming a possibility.
It is DENOSA’s view that these frontline heroines and heroes need to be honoured everyday as they continue the battle against COVID-19 despite the challenges they face in the workplace on a daily basis.
DENOSA in Gauteng also calls on government to preserve and honour all nurses, including other frontline workers, who lost their lives during this period of COVID-19 in the country by giving them the national orders and publish their names. We will campaign for this because their deaths must not be in vain.
The event to celebrate and honour these heroines and heroes will be held as follows:
DATE : Friday, 04 November 2020
TIME : 11:00 am
VENUE : Bertha Gxowa Hospital, Germiston (Kobbie Muller Hall)

2) Mr. Simphiwe Gada – Provincial Chairperson of DENOSA Gauteng
3) Dr. Tendani Mabuda – Chief Director Nursing in Gauteng
4) Mr. Amos Monyela – COSATU Gauteng Provincial Chairperson
The event will also entertain nurses to unwind and offload the stress they are exposed to.
This day will be about celebrating and motivating these important heroines and heroes who held the nation on their broad shoulders in the darkest and scariest time.
