JOHANNESBURG - Johannesburg Health and Social Development MMC Mpho Phalatse has condemned the attack on workers at Protea South Clinic where she says six nurses were held hostage by residents demanding better services.
The pair allegedly refused to listen to staff who referred them to the 24-hour Chiawelo Clinic opposite the Protea South facility. The Johannesburg Metro Police Department was called while staff, who eventually caved in to the demands, treated the two patients.“It’s very concerning; the level of disrespect and disregard of the rule of law by some of our clients who think it’s okay to hold our staff hostage because they demand services.”
MMC Phalatse is hands on. She is doing an excellent job. Well done, the Joburgers appreciate your sterling job
