Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital  (0.05 MB)

Company Announcement - AfriSam has been awarded a contract by Group Five to supply 17 650 m3 of readymix concrete for the construction of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital in Parktown, Johannesburg. “It is a wonderful opportunity for AfriSam to contribute to the lasting legacy of the late Nelson Mandela,” Graham Hannah, Multi-Products Solutions Account Manager at AfriSam, says. “The establishment of this non-profit hospital was a personal dream of Mandela and once completed will be one of only four hospitals on the African continent,” Hannah comments. Construction commenced on 23 June 2014 following the successful completion of bulk earthworks and piling on site.

Due to open its doors in 2016, the 200 bed specialist paediatric hospital will provide services in the fields of haematology/oncology, pulmonology, cardiology, neurosciences, craniofacial, nephrology and general paediatric surgery. The hospital will be located adjacent to Wits University’s Medical School and is in close proximity to other medical facilities to allow for paediatric academic teaching access from Wits Medical School in addition to maximise operational efficiencies and staffing models. The hospital will employ about 150 doctors and 451 paediatric nursing professionals in addition to allied services.

Group Five’s appointment as main contractor by the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital Trust followed a selection process adjudicated by SIP Project Managers in conjunction with Mbatha, Walters & Simpson consultancy. “This represents a key milestone in our efforts to make Nelson Mandela’s last wish of building a children’s hospital in South Africa a reality,” Nana Magomola, Deputy Chairperson, NMCHT, says.
