Today, we are officially opening the King Nyabela Hospital, which will serve more than 240,000 people in the Steve Tshwete Local Municipality. King Nyabela was renowned for fiercely defending ancestral lands against European encroachment and for being relentless in seeking peace. Today we honour King Nyabela and we honour all the forebears of the Ndzundza Ndebele people. Like the great King Nyabela after whom this facility is named, let us open our hearts and have compassion. With these words I now declare the King Nyabela Hospital officially open.
