The Gauteng Health Department is calling for donations of Personal Protective Equipment and ventilators. via SABCNewsOnline

Meanwhile, some essential workers at Livingstone Hospital in Port Elizabeth, in the Eastern Cape, have downed tools – claiming they have not been provided with adequate protective equipment. This includes technicians, artisans, general workers, cooks and laundry staff.

The workers say they no longer feel safe and are only provided with a single pair of gloves and a single mask per day.NEHAWU Provincial Secretary Mieki Jaceni says they have appealed to the relevant departments to release employees who are not provided with adequate protective equipment. “We have now written a letter to the MEC, to exercise her powers in terms of occupational health, to prohibit the performance of those duties that are endangering and risking the health and safety of our members. That our members must be provided with PPEs and the MEC must provide to all the areas concerned. We have given the MEC two days to respond. Failure to do that we are heading to the high court.

It is absolutely hurtful that in the Kleinskool community of PE ,corruption and nepotism will be the death of us instead of Covid 19 as the people who are in charge for distribution of free food supplies aren't informing the community in need instead are favouring their families

Haibo! You've exhausted the billions and millions that were donated a few days ago?

Calling for donations from who? Didn't government say they have things under control? DrZweliMkhize

Where is the billions that where donated

What is going on here, where is the promised from Health Minister that South Africa will be ready for any pandemic , so that was a total lie

So what happened to all that money that was donated?

Where is the EFFSouthAfrica ? 🤔

Already? What happened to the money that has been donated?

Let this sink in for a moment British death toll is much higher than their Recovery Coronavirus Cases: 41,903 Deaths: 4,313 Recovered: 135

Everybody believed them when they said they are ready

I wonder if they will accept donations from AfriForum?

Imagine 17k arrested, if one can pay a fines of R100 or more, use the money to assist health emergencies,simple. Or they just enjoy pipo conjested in jail for ptty crimes. International donations, spoiled the ability to critical thinking.

Help Our Health Department

Mos motsepe donated 1bn

Are you still rejecting those afriforum sanitizers and mask? The police did say they are poisonous

Ask the anc for it. I pay my tax. They stole the money. Not my problem when people start dying in state hospitals. Because they KEEP VOTING for anc!

10 days in and we are short of some of the most important things to protect our first responders.

Together we can make it.

Does this suggest that the country wasn't ready for the pandemic?

With what money you killed the businesses
