Irregularities stop recruitment process at Dr George Mukhari Hospital

Gauteng Health has instructed Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Tshwane to stop recruitment and selection processes for vacancies. The Times reports that the hospital had open vacancies for porters, cleaners and messengers, but the department said they had to be stopped due to allegations of irregularities which had been brought to its attention.

“We view allegations of impropriety and of irregularities in a serious light; hence we have called for the investigation to ascertain their veracity. Throughout this process we will be transparent and forthright with applicants and, as such, if it is found that any employees of the hospital were involved in a behaviour that goes against what we expect, we will act decisively against them,'” said MEC Dr Bandile Masuku.

The department said the decision to halt the process came as Masuku met with representatives of the SA National Civic Organisation, who shared their unhappiness at the recruitment and selection process last week.
