The Western Cape health department says it’s investigating allegations by Operation Dudula.
The group claims a service provider at Groote Schuur hospital is only hiring illegal foreign nationals, while locals are sold jobs.
Dudula members marched to the hospital on Saturday to hand over a memorandum.
The group says the hospital has turned a blind eye to complaints about a service provider that only hires foreign nationals for positions such as cooks, porters, and even security vacancies.
The provincial health department’s spokesperson, Dr Saadiq Kariem, says this isn’t the first time they’ve heard such allegations.
They’ll be investigating the claims.
“Their concerns, we’ve accepted the memorandum and we understand what the concerns are, but what we’ll do from the hospital and provincial side is obviously investigate the concerns,” Kariem said.
Dudula has given the hospital 14 days to look into this.
