News24 reports that on Wednesday, staff members at Kalafong Provincial Tertiary Hospital in Pretoria embarked on a protest which saw the facility being trashed.
A large crowd gathered in front of the public hospital's gates and video footage on social media showed how protesters used burning tyres to barricade the road outside the hospital. It was still unclear by Wednesday afternoon what the protest was about. Another video, also circulating on social media, showed how the interior of the hospital was trashed, with spilled trash bins and rubbish scattered along the corridors. Gauteng health department spokesperson Philani Mhlungu said they were still waiting for communication from the facility before issuing a formal statement regarding the matter. Police officers were present to monitor the situation. Gauteng police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Mavela Masondo said no violence had been reported, and no arrests had been made.
