SABC News reports that a group of community members in Pretoria West have handed over a memorandum of demands to the Pretoria West hospital.

They allege the hospital overlooks locals when hiring staff and considers people outside the community, most of whom come from Limpopo province. They have appealed to hospital management to consider hiring locals. According to community leader Thabo Makola, those hired used fraudulent proof of residence. “We engaged with the management several times and we spoke to procurement managers to give people around here opportunities, but they don’t do that. The management are the ones who told us they are surprised. They said these people just divulged they were given proof of address to be able to work at the hospital.”
