It was still Joburg Gen, I was in trauma , long enough ,3 weeks in ICU tied up for my bed ( to don't pull the tubes) on ventilator more than 2 weeks , which causes big problems , then you need operation to 'cut' your trachea.Months in a ward, saw at least 4 people killed by the nurses. They tried on me, but I must've been to strong for them.Got out 30kg.
Ouch that sounds horrible :-( yeah as I said Johannesburg Gen was the worst of the public hospitals I've been to. They even stopped my cousin filming there, as she was doing journnalism at varsity at the time.

One woman ( white) with spinal gun shot , was screaming all evening (young black chick was the shift doctor) , nurses didn't cal Dr, locked her up in the linen closet, so they cab 'rest'. Around 4 am she stopped screaming, 6 am she got out in a black bag.
New year eve black guy with stab wound , very drunk , singing and shouting. Nurses shot him so much morphine , he stopped singing forever.
Guy with a wound in the leg (black) , left for 5 days to fester .Septic shock.
Stroke like patient (black ) got beaten and not fed until he died.

That's only people in my room , I am sure the other rooms were not doing much better.

Mentioning colour , just to show it doesn't make difference.

5 years ago the I saw the most murderous nurse working in Olivedale clinic . She recognized me , and made apologetic face and told me that she has changed. She knew very well why I went white in the face.

So 24 staff members at the Dischem in Boksburg and now 35 staff members at Unilever Boksburg... I can tell you now, the daily new case counts are way off the actual numbers! Not even going to hazard a guess...

Contact tracing in essential services facilities does find many of the cases, but takes a lot of resources, and is always playing catch-up: https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/...itive-for-covid-19-at-boksburg-plant-20200423
A full testing and tracing programme launched by Unilever together with the Department of Health for approximately 680 employees and contractors found that 30 employees and 12 contractors tested positive for the virus.

I am not doing any allegations, just sharing what I saw.
After the hospital, I had to go to physical rehab for all the damage I got in trauma.
Months there , we got to know each other. Another room a guy Stroke patient who couldn't talk and move, got raped. All the patients (6 in a room) were laughing , after a long time having fun, they called the nurses.

Getting a fine during the lockdown means a criminal record

"Do not risk breaking the lockdown regulations or you may just end up with a criminal record. If you do, you could very well be jeopardising your future job prospects or a chance of relocating abroad.

Paying an admission of guilt fine will most likely brand you as having a previous conviction.."

Does that means that the cadres and police who broke LD , have criminal records now?

If they do, it just means they are now inline for higher roles right?

So, you have proofs of these events and opened criminal cases at SAPS?

No and no, I didn't care at the time about anything much other than keep breathing. And I am not trying to convince you , or anyone else in my credibility. I didn't even have the opportunity to go after the people responsible for me being close to 2 years in hospital.
And anyway , none of the cases are straight forward murder, just malice and extreme negligence.

I call fertilizer if you can so clearly remember and detail these events and never mentioned it even in passing to a person of authority at the hospital or anything.

What was your point in posting this drivel with gaping holes in your credibility and no interest in convincing us of anything? Anecdotal doesn't even cover this, your stories seem wildly embellished to the point of fiction.

Actually no... all 4 cases as you've described them are straight up murder...

I also call fertilizer if you can so clearly remember them and didn't even bother to mention it to people in authority after the fact.

Everyone was talking about bad hospital experiences, and he just "lightly" mentioned it. Was then asked for details.

Considering some of the extremes I've seen reported, including with video, on Carte Blanche through the years I'm not surprised or in personal doubt about this. But who knows...

Cool, I am not trying to convince you. Someone asked, I answered. I hate derailing this thread any more.

The point I’m trying to make is that I am the most unpleasant, rude, ignorant, and all-around obnoxious arsehole that anyone could possibly have the misfortune to meet. I am dismissive of the virtuous, unaware of the beautiful, and uncomprehending in the face of the happy.

Ahhh but you see, nobody is going to be convinced because you are talking bollocks largely (about the murder aspect), we know that government hospitals are piss poor and the level of care is atrocious at best, but you are outright claiming in your room alone that nurses murdered 4 people.. that is a stretch in the extreme.
