The Gauteng Department of Health is set to appoint an independent investigator to look into allegations of maladministration and corruption at Kalafong Hospital in Atteridgeville, West of Pretoria.Services have recently been affected at the public health facility due to a series of protests and strike by staff members, including nurses and general workers, to voice grievances on chief executive officer Dr Sello Matjila of unbecoming conduct.

On Wednesday, protesting workers went on a rampage, trashing the facility by emptying dustbins and scattering rubbish all over the facility, including inside the CEO’s office. Grievances also included disputes over payments related to annual performance bonuses, and the suspension of three shop stewards for taking part in the recent shutdown in protest of a 3% wage increase.

“Following the recent labour unrest and subsequent disruption of services at Kalafong Provincial Tertiary Hospital… the Gauteng Department of Health will be appointing an independent investigator to probe all allegations made by various stakeholders at the facility,” acting Head of Department Arnold Malotana said on Sunday.
