Charlotte Maxeke Hospital Shutdown as staff members burn property
A protest is taking place at the Charlotte Maxeke hospital in Johannesburg.
Demonstrators have reportedly locked down the hospital and strewn rubbish in its corridors.
They’re protesting over unpaid overtime. Police have been deployed to the scene.
Last month, protestors, some belonging to trade union Nehawu, also trashed the hospital.
