Was fire at Charlotte Maxeke hospital foul-play?

“Workers go to work to sell their labour power, not to sell their lives.” So said the national leadership of the National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) after firefighters had, for more than 12 hours, battled a blaze that engulfed a section of Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital for two days. The fire broke out in a special dispensary storage room at about 11am on Friday. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire. No casualties have been reported. A decision has been made to shut down the hospital for the next seven days and about 400 patients, including 13 Covid-19 cases, have been transferred to the Steve Biko Academic Hospital, the Tshwane District Hospital and other hospitals in the province.

Nehawu, DA call for speedy investigation into Charlotte Maxeke fire

Nehawu, DA call for speedy investigation into Charlotte Maxeke fire Updated Martine van der Walt Ehlers Share this: There have been widespread calls for an immediate investigation into the devestating fire at the Charlotte Maxeke Academic Hospital in Johannesburg. The blaze has lead to the temporary closure of the facility. The fire started on Friday in a storeroom at the hospital with melting plastic and medical supplies, causing flames to re-ignite a day later. On Saturday, Gauteng Premier David Makhura visited the hospital and announced that the facility will be closed for seven days. The National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) says the fact that the fire raged on for many hours proves that occupational safety measures are not adequately adhered to at the hospital.

This is according to the Gauteng health department, which on Friday confirmed the fire had not disrupted hospital services. There were no casualties. The hospital was being used for temporary storage of health equipment and linen meant for the Anglo-Ashanti Hospital during its construction phase, as the facilities are relatively close to one another.
