Lenasia South District Hospital left without water, electricity or a cell phone signal

According to health journalist Jesse Copelyn, at the Bhekisisa Centre for Health Journalism, the municipal, provincial, and federal administrations failed to provide water, electricity, or cell phone service to the Lenasia South District Hospital.

Copelyn told Radio Islam International on Wednesday that the Gauteng Health Department was accused of not paying the people in charge of ensuring enough fuel for the generators.

"The department confirmed that there were problems with diesel supply, but they did not provide the reason why."

As a result, Lenasia District Hospital didn't have electricity for some hours in November.
