City Power on Wednesday threatened to cut the hospital’s electricity supply if it did not settle it’s approximate R41 million debt bill to the utility by close of business on Thursday.
The upgrade of the facility that caught fire in 2021 cost at least R60 million. The humanitarian organisation has declared it the largest such space in South Africa.
The hospital suffered extensive damage from a fire last year. Hospital CEO Gladys Bogoshi said that staff members would be trained by different safety personnel to avoid confusion should a disaster occur.
