[FACT CHECK] Here's me correcting myself, for the sake of accuracy and transparency: in fact, Mqonci said she got interested in *healthcare* and not nursing per se, after caring for her grandmother. Nursing and midwifery came later. Apologies for my error. x.com/ermbates/statu…

@carteblanchetv @PaulElgar75 Very special. ✨️

@PaulElgar75 @ermbates We absolutely LOVE this! Thanks for sharing this very special photo with the #CarteBlanche team 💙💙💙

This #CarteBlanche @carteblanchetv story reflects the dedication of some 400 personnel at Mowbray Maternity Hospital, working to serve mothers and babies in the face of numerous challenges, including adequate funds, in public health. x.com/i/status/20332…

That was a beautiful curveball! And felt like a full circle moment, thanks to #CarteBlanche @carteblanchetv, producer Floris Kotze and the team at Mowbray Maternity. I'm really grateful. x.com/i/status/20332…

One of the challenges it faces is spatial. The hospital has evolved over time, with nurses' housing adapted into wards (as an example). Per the CEO, the layout is sub-optimal for patients' needs. #CarteBlanche @carteblanchetv x.com/i/status/20332…

OMG that moment they showed @ermbates her birth records 😭🥹so touching ☺️had us all teary here in studio #carteblanche

We were told anecdotally that expectant mothers have been known to travel the stretch of South Africa navigating public transport and poverty to make it to Mowbray Maternity Hospital, known for its maternity care. #CarteBlanche @carteblanchetv x.com/i/status/20332…

Sister Cardine Hawyn has been a midwife at Mowbray since she arrived on community service in 2009, and today she is in charge of the antenatal ward. She hopes to see change in the nursing sector. #CarteBlanche @ermbates

Sister Ahlume Mqonci says she was inspired to go into nursing after caring for her grandmother growing up and into midwifery, specifically, after witnessing her mother give birth. #CarteBlanche @carteblanchetv x.com/i/status/20332…

Amid the endless corruption and governance failures... The people that keep institutions like this going and serving South Africans is what makes this beautiful country work.

This story is giving me all the feels this Sunday 🥹🥰❤️

Sister Ahlume o montle gore 😍and then her love and passion for midwifery just makes her even more amazing #carteblanche

Mowbray Maternity Hospital - it's over 100 years old, the largest dedicated maternity hospital in SA, and it's also where @ermbates was born! #CarteBlanche
