Public Works Minister Patricia de Lille has blamed the Department of Health for not giving them enough time to prepare accommodation for about 200 South Africans repatriated from the United States.
The group was left stranded for hours on the tarmac at OR Tambo International Airport on Monday.
De Lille said her department needed at least 72 hours to ensure all procurement procedures were properly followed before people could be accommodated at quarantine sites.
The minister said she was only informed about the group’s arrival on Monday morning, just seven hours before they landed.
“I have now called for a meeting with the minister of health. In fact, I sent him a letter late last night to say, ‘this is unbecoming, you cannot expect us to break the law by phoning us at 10 in the morning or sending an email to say over 300 people have arrived’,” De Lille said.
The group only left for their hotel rooms at 8 pm on Monday night after arriving at 5 pm.
