IN order to allow public healthcare staff to exercise their right to vote, Ekurhuleni clinics will be closed on Wednesday for the local elections.

Residents are advised to use primary healthcare centres and hospitals which operate on a 24-hour basis.

Unfortunately no clinics in Kempton will be open, making Tembisa the nearest option.

Residents can visit Esangweni Community Health Centre at 219 Mpilo Street, Esangweni Section, Tembisa. The chief nurse can be contacted on 011-925-3887.
