Check out the huge piles of unwashed linen I saw on my visit this morning!

Visited Joburg Provincial Laundry (serving 17 facilities). Found: huge backlog, 1/2 tunnel washers broken, only 87 staff vs 180 posts, machines under-maintained. Patients go without clean linen while dept denies a crisis. #Laundry @JackBloomDA Read: ow.ly/Qb1c50WsBnY

Did You Know? On 1 July 2025, Gauteng paid R5.5 billion toward e-toll debt — money that could’ve gone to clinics, schools, housing, and basic services. Why must residents suffer while billions go to failed schemes? #DidYouKnow #DAatWork #RescueSA #DA_GPL

I visited Malvern Clinic again today, still only a trickle of water after 6 weeks, and toilets closed. It won’t cost much to connect this water tank to the pipes with a pump, instead of staff using buckets.

Malvern Clinic is crumbling: broken lights, ceiling holes, locked toilets, and fails safety standards. Joburg Council neglects 5000 patients/month. DA’s @JackBloomDA demands immediate action on water and infrastructure #Healthcare

23,000+ work opportunities can be created, but the ANC wants R700-million for an extravagant National Dialogue talk shop. Say NO at CutANCcorruption.co.za The focus should be on jobs and rooting out corruption!
