"But it's something we are busy dealing with, in conjunction with our supply chain personnel. -

They are always busy dealing with it, or the best one, we are applying our minds.

Zimpopo -- that name will stick to you until the people of zimpopo decides for better governance.

Where are those companies that you gave tenders to repair these machines? Are they not willing to do it for free? I guess all what they care about is money, money and more inflated money. The loss of life is something they care less about. Next time ask if they will be able to do charity in times like these, after they cleaned your sorry departments of all the money through their inflated bids.

I think the Limpopo provincial government should just be nationalised,not mines.They have on several occassions proved that they are not capable of running a province effeciently.

Go to Jane Furse Hospital in ga-Sekhukhune then you'll know what poor service is. I think the whole Limpopo province has collapsed beyond recovery. People choose to dies at home than go to hospitals for treatment in that province. I even had to withdraw my nephew from Jane Furse hospital to Helen Joseph hospital because he was just getting no care or treatment at all. There is not government in Limpopo. The province has collapsed. National government must take over Limpopo.

Unfortunately, people do not understand that machines need to be changed regularly NOT serviced but changed, but unfortunately we have a government who knows jerk sh.., when you make a change you make it gradually and replace it, but it is a shame. Another FAILURE OF SERVICE DELIVERY.

The people of Limpopo shouldnt complain though. They keep voting for the anc! They are getting exactly what they chose. I just feel sorry for the little babies who are bathed in cold water.

Bcauseofanc

Sorry to burst your bubble dude but COPE cant even decide on who is the leader of the party so how the heck do you expect them to sort out the Province? The DA is the only paerty to save this country.

Is everything going wrong in Limpopo? Where is Malema to help out and set an example of how things must be done since he is an expert at being a water mouth.

DO NOT BE FOOLED. IT IS NOT JUST LIMPOPO HOSPITAL THAT IS SICK. ALL HOSPITALS AND WHERE EVER THE GOVERNMENT HAS A FINGER IN THE PIE ALL SUFFER FROM SICKNESSES. IT IS HIGH TIME THAT VOTERS IN SOUTH AFRICA THAT WHAT WE NEED IN SOUTH AFRICA IS KNOWLEDGEABLE PEOPLE FROM THE PRESIDENT , PARLEMENT, PROVINCIAL COUNCILS , MUNICIPALITIES ETC. ETC ETC..... VOTERS PARADE BECAUSE SERVICES ARE SUB-STANDARD YET WHEN IT COMES TO AN ELECTION THEY VOTE FOR THE LARGE INNER CIRCLE OF THE ANC
AND THE ROTTEN CYCLE WILL START ALL OVER ....BRIBERY. CORRUPTION , IGNORANCE , AND BAD MANAGEMENT . SOUTH AFRICANS MUST ALSO LEARN TO DO SOMETHING
POSITIVE FOR OUR COUNTRY.

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION ENTERPRISE IN OUR COUNTRY IS THE ONE THAT PRODUCES AN ABSOLUTE SURPLUS OF POOR PEOPLE.IN FOURTY YEARS TIME OUR PROBLEM WILL BE BIGGER THAN NOW.. IS THIS WHERE WE WANT TO BE.

Limpopo was doomed the moment we were allowed to vote in 94
Cos people there still hav the mentality that Mandela is still the president of the ANC and they vow to continue voting for him until he perishes
