Money set aside by Gauteng to finally demolish hospital

FUNDS have been set aside in the Gauteng budget to demolish Kempton Park Hospital at last.

Refiloe Nt’sekhe, DA national spokesperson and constituency head for Kempton Park and Tembisa, broke the news to Kempton Express on Monday afternoon.

• Kempton Hospital to be demolished, rebuilt

• Will there be new hope for hospital now?

“During the budget speech, MEC [Barbara] Creecy has now indicated that the funds have been set aside to demolish Kempton Park Hospital. I will be asking questions with regard to exactly how much has been set aside for the demolition as well as the date,” she said.

Plans last year were to built a 300-bed district hospital.

Nt’sekhe hopes to have answers in about two weeks.
