Still no repairs to mouldy Joburg provincial clinic
5 September 2017
Gauteng Health MEC Gwen Ramokgopa says that the Jeppe Street provincial clinic in inner city Johannesburg will re-open on 1 October, but no building work whatsoever has taken place there since it closed in April this year for renovations.
I discovered this when I visited the clinic last week to see how the renovations were going.
The door was locked and a hawker outside told me that nothing had happened to the clinic since it was closed.
The Department of Infrastructure Development is responsible for hiring contractors and Infrastructure Development MEC Jacob Mamabolo says in a recent written reply to my questions in the Gauteng Legislature that the refurbishment of this clinic is on track to be completed by October this year at a cost of R396 000.
