The Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) in partnership with the S.A Medical & Education Foundation (SAME) and the Gauteng Department of Health officially opened the new Occupational Therapy and sports facilities at Sterkfontein Psychiatric Hospital on 25 October 2018.
The project, unveiled in October to mark Mental Health Awareness Month, was earmarked as a Nelson Mandela Centenary Legacy Project by the IDC, and was launched on Mandela Day 2018. Since the launch, the hospital has received complete upgrades and furnishings of their Occupational Therapy library and media centre, restaurant, kitchen, and tuckshop. A new multi-purpose sports facility was also established, with a new soccer field, athletics track, tennis and netball court, clubhouse, change rooms and ablution facilities.
