A psychiatric patient attacked people waiting to be helped at a hospital in Limpopo last week, the provincial health department said on Monday.

A 35-year-old man from Phalaborwa was brought to the Maphuta Malatji Hospital by his mother for a check-up, spokesperson Cecil Motsepe said in a statement.

At the hospital he allegedly started assaulting the only two white patients in the queue. He then turned on another two people before security guards restrained him.

"The hospital management will today visit the family of the aggrieved parties with the aim of conveying an apology and to demonstrate that the actions of the alleged aggressor party are regrettable.

"We are not sure what the family wants to do, but we will not stand in their way if they want to lay charges," Motsepe said.

Sensationalist reporting at its best.
Maybe the government has a point in regulating the press.:whistle:
Unless there is impartial reporting the press deserve everything they get from people or organisations looking to curb their freedom of expression.

Just my thoughts..if you dont like it..build a bridge and get over it.;)

Yes, there are some negatives of a free press. But a non-free press is catastrophical.

Don't touch the press.

Have to agree with you..however...unless the press are going to censure their own..they only themselves to blame when the government steps in to do that which they are reluctant to do.

**** no. Never. Rather take the press on up in public. But keep the governments fingers out of the press.

If you don't like what they say take them on and prove them in wrong public.

Out of interest, how far in is the ANC's process of muting the press?
 
cool - I mean what a stupid obvious way to try and hide your failures.
 
So he attacked the only two white people, and turned to the others, which were non-white. Wow. :rolleyes:
 
Sensationalism and bias reporting has been quite successful for News24, the rest are just following in their footsteps.
