Kopanong Hospital that owes ELM R443 953.08 has been slapped with a final written notice of demand to pay within three days. A South African Police Service (SAPS) Training center that owes the ELM R700 000.00 was switched off. The hospital and other businesses will be liable to all cost related to the disconnection process as reflected in a notice.

It was a big embarrassment for most when officials came knocking at the offices of the South African Police Service Training, Labour Department and Gauteng Offices in Vereeniging wielding a warrant to switch off  on Monday.
