Only one washer working at Gauteng laundry serving 14 Hospitals and 54 Clinics [SOUND]

# The DA in Gauteng has revealed that the Masakhane provincial laundry in Rosslyn, Tshwane, serving 14 hospitals and 54 clinics, has only one of six tunnel washers operational. Other essential machinery is also broken, and 31 vacant posts force staff into excessive overtime. DA Jack Bloom says the lack of linen and maintenance plans has caused frequent shortages, raising infection risks. Bloom warns that the department’s recapitalisation may not resolve systemic issues, calling for a review of all provincial laundries to ensure efficiency.
