Johannesburg - The Public Service Commission has warned the government that it faces more lawsuits following the alleged fatal attack on Alexandra resident Collins Khosa and ill-treatment of Covid-19-positive patients at various health-care centres in the country.
“The South African government, like all governments in the world, is under immense pressure to respond to the unprecedented challenge of Covid-19. He said the lockdown had challenged public servants’ behaviour and attitudes in the manner in which they interacted with citizens. "Furthermore, the PSC has observed incidences of maladministration and poor service delivery in various places; for example, the challenges of overcrowding in a maternity ward at the Mamelodi Hospital amid the Covid-19 pandemic and the essential need for social distancing as a preventative measure against the virus,” he said.
