#FirstThingsFirst - Tshwane Mayor's decision to cut power off at Weskoppies questioned

Loading player...
The City of Tshwane restored power to Weskoppies specialised psychiatric hospital on Tuesday after the Gauteng Department of Health committed to settling its overdue R1.2 million electricity bill. Mayor Nasiphi Moya emphasised the need for consistent revenue collection to address the City's financial distress while ensuring fairness when applying credit control. Although the hospital had back-up power, concerns have been raised about the outage's impact on patient care. Did Dr Moya make the right decision to cut off the power? Is the backlash she received warranted? Who should we lay the blame on between the hospital, the Mayor and the Gauteng department of Health? Those are some of the questions the team and listeners explored.
