Media Statement 08th June 2011 POPCRU condemns the killing of public servants at work POPCRU has noted with disgust the unfortunate incident at Middleburg Hospital, Mpumalanga in which a doctor was killed allegedly by a male patient. In many instances, most hospitals are suffering from security lapses which, amongst others, are caused by lack of security intelligence at these institutions, with lowly trained security companies issued with tenders and the absence of continuous observation of all patients in the vicinity of health sites. We join all progressive Trade Unions organizing within the Health Sector to campaign vigorously to change the status quo.Intergration of these institutions within Community Policing [Safety] Forums; will enhance a societal responsibility on issues of safety and security across the country.
We are calling the South African Police Services to hunt for the suspect and ensure justice prevails on this brutal and improper act against a servant of the masses. POPCRU send its heartfelt condolences to the family of Dr.Mkhize, colleagues and the health fraternity at large.
