The state is evaluating security systems that have been put in place at public hospitals as fears grow that attacks on doctors such as the recent ones that happened in Limpopo might spread throughout the country.
The role of private security guards working at health facilities will be the topic of discussion on Friday when Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi meets with security experts to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of security systems at state hospitals.
“The review will be for the whole country and we are using Limpopo as a springboard, and whatever plan we come up with will be applied throughout the country.
“We believe the attacks are in Limpopo but there is nothing stopping them criminals from spreading their activities to the rest of the country,” the minister added.
Motsoaledi said the three armed attacks, which happened at separate healthcare facilities in Limpopo in the past five days, had startled his ministry. In the most recent attack, at a clinic in Manganeng village near Jane Furse, four men pretending to be accompanying a patient before they disarmed and robbed a female security guard. Police, who had been deployed near the clinic chased after them.
The thugs abandoned their vehicle and started shooting at the police.
One suspect was shot and killed, while the other three managed to escape. One of them was later arrested when he tried to open a false case of hijacking, said provincial police spokesperson Brigadier Matlafela Mojapelo.
“The owner of the metered taxi that he had been using was put under pressure, wanting his vehicle back from the suspect. On interrogating him, police found out he was involved in the crime at the clinic and had been the driver of the getaway vehicle,” said Mojapelo.
Motsoaledi said a multi-disciplined task team made up of police intelligence agents, detectives services, the riot squad, private security authorities and Department of Home Affairs officials, had been set up and would get together on Friday with Motsoaledi to evaluate the security systems being used at public healthcare facilities.
This includes looking at the number of guards who work per shift and the methods of searching vehicles and people entering the facilities.

I am satisfied to search out a lοt of helpful info here in the put
up, we want work out extra strategiеs on thіs regard,

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future
but I’m having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs
and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had
to ask!
Spot on with this write-up, I seriously believe that this website needs a great deal more attention. I’ll probably be returning to see more, thanks for the info!
Thankfulness to my father who shared with me regarding
this blog, this web site is actually amazing.
Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your blog.
You have some really good articles and I think I would
be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d really like to write some material for
your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please
blast me an e-mail if interested. Thanks!
I couldn’t resist commenting. Exceptionally well written!
Yes! Finally someone writes about click here.
Does your site have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d
like to shoot you an email. I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might
be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.
Everything said made a lot of sense. However, what about this?
what if you added a little content? I ain’t suggesting your
information isn’t good., however what if you added something that
grabbed people’s attention? I mean Attacks on doctors force state to
review hospital security is kinda vanilla. You ought to look at Yahoo’s home page and
watch how they create news headlines to get people to open the links.
You might add a video or a picture or two to grab people interested
about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it might make
your website a little bit more interesting.

Fantastic blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost
