SA’s health emergency | Families frustrated as pathology workers down tools

RUSTENBURG - Health workers at Rustenburg's Forensic Pathology Unit have downed tools.

They say their health is at risk due to the lab's non-compliance with occupational health and safety requirements.

Employees say they are forced to work without PPE, even while performing autopsies.

Hospersa North West Chairperson Ramalau Rammutla says fridges sometimes break down causing bodies to begin decomposing.
