Electrical repairs at the Tambo Memorial Hospital in Boksburg on the East Rand will cost about R18m, Gauteng MEC for human settlements & infrastructure development Lebogang Maile said on Tuesday.
The hospital was damaged by a gas tanker explosion on Saturday which killed 18 people and left scores injured, including hospital staff and patients. The tanker exploded about 100m from the hospital after becoming wedged under a bridge.
“We have already appointed contractors to do immediate things like windows and doors, in the process of appointing other contractors for other issues,” he said. He said potential risk areas have been identified and cordoned off, and everyone has been made aware.
