According to Gloria Tlhapi, CEO of the Potchefstroom Hospital, the hospital has never had a day without food.

“The hospital renders patient catering through an outsourced supplier appointed by the Northwest Department of Health. It was only the menu that was changed due to challenges experienced by the supplier,” Tlhapi said.

According to her the supplier has resolved the challenges and service is being rendered as per normal.

Various allegations were made on social media that the hospital had run out of food.
