News24 reports that soldiers were on Monday deployed outside Thelle Mogoerane Hospital in Vosloorus amid the Nehawu wage protests that have disrupted operations at hospitals countrywide.
Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department and the SAPS manned roadblocks leading to the hospital. Vehicles and pedestrians were being searched before entering the facility. Some vehicles were turned back by officers. The protest severely affected the hospital, as the maternity ward was reportedly closed last week. Health minister Dr Joe Phaahla said last week that four people were believed to have lost their lives "in a manner that could be directly attributed to the strike".
