Dr Mmatswaki Rabalao is a general practitioner in Marapong, Lephalale, in the far west of Limpopo. Marapong is the township serving the Matimba and Medupi power stations, and this is one of a small number of private GP practices in the area.
Official contact channels
- Rooms: 014 763 1835. Mediclinic prints it twice; it is the same number repeated, not a second line.
- Direct line: 073 059 5604. This one is explicitly labelled as a direct line on the practice record, so it is a published contact route rather than a number found lying around.
- Mediclinic emergency number: 084 124, for emergencies only.
The practice record also carries an email address in the doctor’s own name on a free mail domain. It is not reproduced here – a mailbox named after the practitioner rather than the practice is not a durable channel, and it is the wrong place to send medical documents. Use the two numbers above.
The address in circulation is wrong. Several directories place this practice at Shop 12, Lephalale Square, 707 Tshetlo Street. Mediclinic, which is the first-party record, gives 767 Nyeke Street, Marapong. Use the Nyeke Street address.
What this organisation provides
- General practice, with family medicine given as the core competency on the practice record. The Mediclinic profile misspells this as “Family Medicline”, which is worth knowing if you are searching the record rather than reading it.
- A GP is the entry point to the health system: first assessment, chronic disease management, and the referral letter that unlocks specialist care at the right benefit rate on most medical schemes.
- Qualification published: MBChB, Medunsa, 1999.
- Admits at Mediclinic Lephalale, which is the private hospital serving the town.
Lephalale is a long way from the nearest large centre – Polokwane is roughly 300km east – so anything the local practice and hospital cannot handle means a significant transfer. That is worth factoring into decisions about elective procedures.
Address and operating information
- 767 Nyeke Street, Marapong, Lephalale, 0556. The postal address is the same as the street address.
- Marapong lies just outside Lephalale town proper, near the power stations.
- Consulting hours are not published on the practice record. Confirm on the rooms number.
- HPCSA registration number: MP0520365
- Practice number: 0140000628344, which your medical scheme needs for claims.
Support and escalation routes
- For a medical emergency call an ambulance on 10177, or 112 from a mobile phone. A GP practice closes outside consulting hours and is not an emergency service.
- Ask for the referral letter rather than self-referring to a specialist – most schemes pay a specialist visit at a better rate, or only at all, when a GP has referred.
- Complaints about professional conduct or standard of care go to the Health Professions Council of South Africa on 012 389 9300. Scheme disputes go to the Council for Medical Schemes after the scheme’s own appeal.
