The ANC in the Western Cape criticised the DA after it emerged that the province would take 20 years to complete the rebuild of the GF Jooste Hospital in Manenberg.Provincial Health MEC Nomafrench Mbombo previously said the funds for the rebuild were reprioritised.
The reconstruction and commissioning of the hospital is expected to take many years still, with some reports stating the process would only be completed in 2032. "The 10-year delay has forced people to travel long distances and spend money they don’t have to access healthcare services. Due to the ongoing gang violence in the area, some are forced to risk their lives to cross the turf of rival gangs in order to access healthcare services. To add salt to the wound, it will take another 10 years before the hospital is rebuilt," she said.
Windvogel said:"This party is good for nothing and should be booted out of power in 2024. The whole process of closure of GF Jooste has exposed the DA’s complete disregard for black communities. The DA has failed the people of Manenberg, Nyanga, Gugulethu and surrounds."
