out at the facility on Thursday.
The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health says they believe the incidents, which happened on the 7th and 10th floors were acts of sabotage.

No one was hurt and police are investigating.
MEC for Health, Sibongiseni Dhlomo says as operations continued as per normal.
“The department will continue to improve security at this hospital. We want the perpetrators to be arrested for gambling with other people’s lives,” he said.
