Staff protest car thefts at Joburg Hospital despite R32m spent annually on security
9 November 2021
Some staff at the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Hospital (CMJH) are picketing today to protest daily thefts of their cars which they say management is ignoring.
I have spoken to nurses who tell me that two or more cars are stolen daily, and they are in constant worry about the safety of their vehicles.
Following the fire at the hospital in April this year, staff have had to park their cars in different places, including the street outside.
The thefts occur despite a whopping amount of R40.1 million that is spent annually on security at CMJH.
