“The reason we’re marching is because we want to demonstrate our dissatisfaction about poor services at the hospital such as lack of doctors, shortage of medicine and malaria testing kit and poor management on dispatching of ambulances and long queues,” he explained.
Ndlovu emphasised that Mashego must put everything aside in his busy schedule and come personally to receive the memorandum.
