He said the the road was blocked with burning tyres and Umzimkhulu police were on scene monitoring the situation.
One user, Gatsheni Buyani, shared a picture of the burning barricade saying that the"people are fed up". "So protesters in Umzimkhulu have barricaded the road to Rietvlei Hospital. This directly prevents patients from being transported to higher-care facilities for investigation and/or further management. How is this beneficial to anyone? I thought we're all about helping people," wrote Ahmed Dindar.
