President Cyril Ramaphosa is on Tuesday, 4 August 2026, officiating the opening of the King Nyabela Hospital in Middelburg, Mpumalanga Province.
The King Nyabela Hospital is a replacement and upgrade of the old Middelburg Hospital.
The new facility is named in honour of a leader of the Ndzundza-Ndebele people, who was the son of King Mabhoko.
The construction of the 220-bed King Nyabela Hospital started in 2017.
This new facility is a Level 1 district hospital which will enhance access to healthcare in the Nkangala District Municipality in Mpumalanga.
It is situated along the N4 freeway and next to Middelburg Mall.
The new hospital comprises a full suite of clinical departments, including Internal Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and High Care.
The hospital features three state-of-the-art operating theatres, an Outpatient Services department, and a 24-hour Accident & Emergency department.
