The failure to award a R100m hospital laundry tender for Limpopo has come back to haunt the [b]SA Treasury’s[/b] rescue team after a mentally ill patient walked out of a hospital without being noticed while wearing his own civilian clothes.
Patients in all of Limpopo’s 40 hospitals and 500 clinics are forced to wear their own clothes rather than the hospitals’ dirty uniforms and linen. As a result, Johannes Tomu walked past the security guards at the [b]Zebediela Hospital[/b] because they mistook him for a day visitor. He is still missing.
