Durban and Coastal Mental Health’s Sherwood hostel, which has about 80 residents, was without power for 48 hours at the weekend after the city cut supply because of an outstanding R1.6m bill.
Two sources said management ran an extension cord on Monday from the head office, which is below the hostel and had electricity, and “everything is running off that now”.TimesLIVE is in possession of a disconnection notice dated May, which reflected the arrears as almost R1.6m.The most recent account, dated August, reflects an overdue balance of just more than R1.8m, which is “now overdue and payable immediately”.
Since then traditional funders such as the Community Chest have withdrawn funding because there were no audited financial reports and changes of guard, with the suspension and replacement of those in key positions, including the CEO and chairperson. Provincial health spokesperson Mdu Ncalane said he would attempt to determine if the board had complied.The facility has been in the press more times than I can count for a variety of contraventions of many acts. Patient care, mental health patients' rights, occupational health and safety ... the list goes on.
Being the head of the home isn't easy, you are expected to provide for the home, I lost my job during the pandemic and relied on the little money I had,things were hard until I met Allison_Grillo and started Bitcoin trading, I earned R150,000 in 3 weeks thanks Allison_Grillo.
