While KwaZulu-Natal prepares for a peak in Covid-19 infections, being tipped as the next epicentre in the country, health minister Zweli Mkhize has justified the number of unused beds in the province.

MEC for health Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu told reporters that people were not coming to hospitals.

“People are not coming to hospitals. Don't wait until you are too sick, come to our facility. We have more than enough beds for you to use.”“We can't allow our people to be seen in a place that is not suitable. It is very important for us to ensure our people are treated with dignity.” Mkhize, who knows the Richmond area well, said there was a need for a TB hospital in Richmond in the past, but since the outbreak of Covid-19 there was a greater need to restructure the dilapidated facility.

He said the hospital was greatly needed by the community and a well-needed investment for both the region and district. The minister will conduct an oversight visit to Clairwood Hospital, south of Durban, and on Friday will visit Madadeni Hospital in Newcastle as well as a hospital in Utrecht, northern KwaZulu-Natal.
