Estcourt Hospital is devastated by the passing of Xolani Mkhize who has worked for the institution for more than ten years and was working as a Finance Services Officer based at Patient Admin. He was called to rest on September 4, 2014. The community of Estcourt especially our patients and clients will remember Mr Mkhize as he was often referred to as a humble and dedicated employee who was an all-round worker in the Patient Admin department.

Mr Mkhize’s record speaks for itself and describes him as an employee that was professional, customer focused and willing to go an extra mile to assist our patients, clients and moreover fellow employees. In 2013 he scooped the Best Employee Award under the Non Clinical Category for his remarkable performance and his department also got an award for being the department that came up with the Best Quality Improvement Project.

Our patients and clients will agree that they have enjoyed benefits of quality improvement projects spearheaded by Mr Mkhize like the improved waiting time before getting service, which has been reduced dramatically. His immense contribution has never gone unnoticed, he has left a mark and moreover challenged all other employees in all categories to follow his footsteps for this institution to provide the best service to Estcourt communities. May his soul rest in peace.
