166 broken security cameras at Gauteng Health medical depot
1 March 2022
Despite paying R4 million a year for security at the Gauteng Health Department’s medical supplies depot in Auckland Park in Johannesburg, all its 166 security cameras are broken.
This is revealed by Gauteng Health MEC Nomathemba Mokgethi in a written reply to my questions in the Gauteng Legislature.
According to Mokgethi, 164 cameras collapsed about four years ago, and the remaining two cameras broke in November last year.
These cameras were installed more than 20 years ago and cannot be fixed as they are outdated and no parts can be found in the country.
