DA worried after 'execution-style' murder at Durban hospitalThe Democratic Alliance is worried about the safety of public health facilities after a patient was shot dead at Clairwood Hospital in Durban on Friday.

This is nothing knew. Gangs who had beef in the ‘70s, ‘80s would go up to an injured rival in hospital and murder him, all over SA. I highlight this to dispel the notion that this could be a new trend.
