Health minister Aaron Motsoaledi and finance minister Enoch Godongwana are set to conduct a site visit to Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital to assess progress made on repairs to sections of the hospital damaged by a devastating fire in 2021.
The visit follows a damning report by the public protector into maladministration linked to the fire which destroyed parts of the health facility in April 2021.
The report found that delays in repairing the affected sections of the hospital were largely caused by underspending and poor project management, contributing to prolonged disruptions in health-care services.
