The Gauteng health department has not ruled out sabotage being behind fires at public hospitals.

“Of course [we suspect] there is [sabotage], you cannot have fires year after year,” she said.

“It looks like every year in the department of health we have to deal with fires, but we are doing something on that. I will be getting a report this afternoon [Monday], especially on the Charlotte [Maxeke Hospital] issue. “On the Steve Biko Hospital, I did receive a report that the tents that were used, one of them caught fire. There were about five patients in the next tent, but they managed to evacuate without incident and the fire did not spread to the main hospital.

“The tent that burnt down was donated by Old Mutual and I am still waiting for the incident report from the CEO to get details and we await the police to do their own investigation into the cause of the fire.”

There seems to be a political involvement in these sabotage of state departments

All along the ANC government doesn't see that the country is under attack ?

With sincerity and gratitude in my heart I am sharing this testimony so other people will know that this platform is really legitimate am grateful AmelieBtc1

If our govt cannot by now see that the country is under attack then am afraid this kind of anarchy will continue. Someone. Somebody. Somewhere is behind this. Our law enforcement is fast asleep.

The new trend in SA and no one arrested...

Where's the country's intelligence, oh I forgot it's nonexistent.

One hand greasing the other. Looting opportunities has to be created!!

Your dedication, understanding, and time all mean so much to me, and I feel very lucky to be able to experience positive trade alongside with you. I cherish tyronbfx24
