Approximately 100 people have lodged complaints about six other government-owned quarantine sites that are reportedly to be in poor conditions.
The Pretoria High Court ruled that the Zithabiseni quarantine site in Mpumalanga must close immediately due to its poor conditions.
The department of public works and infrastructure had budgeted R28 million for quarantine sites at private hotels, like the ranch in Limpopo, where South Africans repatriated from China were hosted, but many of the 4,400 people currently in quarantine, were staying at government-owned resorts, like Zithabiseni.
Van Staden said repatriated citizens complained about being housed at the Transnet facility since a month ago, but Public Works Minister Patricia de Lille, said this week her department did not approve this facility.to test a group of residents at the Zithabeseni quarantine site after they offered to assist.
