"It is with shock and disgust that I heard today [Sunday] about the torching of a brand new Covid-19 facility in Khayelitsha," he said in a statement.
This clinic facility, built in record time to the tune of close to R1 million, was opened earlier this week in Makhaza in Khayelitsha and was intended to serve among the most vulnerable Covid-19 positive patients with treatment, testing, and isolation Plato said. It was a depressing fact that for some criminals nothing was sacred – not a church, a children’s park or, as just demonstrated, not even a medical facility built to serve among the poorest of communities in the most desperate of situations.
The future of the clinic extension would have to be decided now. It was a desperately needed facility and was built in response to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s call for local governments to ready themselves for the rise in Covid-19 infections.
