Health Minister, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, says a ministerial advisory committee on Ebola has been appointed and South Africa will be supplying humanitarian aid to West Africa.
Speaking in Johannesburg on Friday, Motsoaledi also said that Winnie Madikizela-Mandela is working with some donors to organise a mobile crematorium to be built in West Africa.
He says in South Africa, nine provincial outbreak response teams and 51 health districts, with an average of 25 health officials in each district, had been trained.
Motsoaledi said that, through various meetings, 18 companies had already pledged services, goods and cash to West Africa to the tune of R12 million.
He says cabinet had also approved a budget of R32.5m to support Ebola preparedness and response activities.
