The TAC says it is prepared to die or go to jail while trying to force Gauteng ANC chairperson and premier David Makhura to fix the ailing health system in the province.
that the closure of Charlotte Maxeke was increasingly burdening other hospitals in the province, especially in the wake of Covid-19. He also revealed that only certain parts of the hospital would reopen after renovations.
TAC secretary general Anele Yawa said, “If it means we must sleep outside here for the whole week for Makhura to come and hear us then so be it. We are even ready to die or get arrested for our mandate. Sleeping in the cold before accessing healthcare is nothing for the old people out here, they go through it on a daily basis in these clinics. We are used to this disrespect by the government.”
TAC used a coffin in its demonstration on Tuesday, 10 August, saying the casket symbolised those who died as a result of the poor healthcare system in Gauteng.
