“The two private security guards implicated in the video where an elderly patient was assaulted have been dismissed by their employer. The nurse who is believed to have filmed the incident, but did nothing else, has been placed on precautionary suspension, pending finalisation of the investigation,” said KwaZulu-Natal health department spokesperson Agiza Hlongwane.
In an earlier statement, health MEC Nomagugu Simelane condemned the incident, and was also critical of the staff member who filmed the incident but “failed to intervene” or report the matter until it was brought to her attention by a journalist. “It is extremely concerning that, instead of making management aware, they decided to send out the video. If they had followed processes, you’ll find that the patient might not have been assaulted as severely as they were,” the MEC said.
Watching these 'security guards' bullying this elderly patient was too hurting to watch. This is a curse they will have to burden until swallowed by their graves. I might not know the patient but still it keeps coming back, thinking how many more were punchbags last night.
All State Hospitals AND Clinics are DIRECTED BY THE SECURITY GUARDS. They even have the authority to write down your particulars on forms from the health departments at entrances, BEFORE COVID SCREENING, and also perform temperature recordings. WHO AUTHORISES THIS?
What about the nurses who were There?
The MEC sounds more aggrieved that the video was released than the actual assault. More people need to be whistle blowers, pull out that phone and show politicians what Joe public is put through
What have we become mara😌😔😔😔....
This is beyond disgusting, it is fucking evil. 🤢😡
