Haitu said that fewer than 100 public hospitals out of a possible 400 were spared from load shedding. The organisation added that rolling blackouts were crippling the healthcare sector and that government should be held accountable.
Acting SA Tourism CEO Themba Khumalo said that he believed the whistleblower is a board member, as they had access to all the relevant documents. SA Tourism will also investigate the interim CFO Johan van der Walt’s potential conflict of interest. [: Disaster management teams in Komani, Eastern Cape, are on high alert as heavy rainfall is resulting in major floods.
