Panyaza Lesufi has revealed that despite investing almost R600 million in the refurbishment and upgrading of the AngloGold Ashanti Hospital. "Department feel they can’t use the hospital because it is not safe. The Zama zamas have taken over the hospital.”

He said: The premier said the facility remains unsafe, and patients cannot be taken to the controversial hospital. 

“We rehabilitated an institution at the value of R588m, but we do not own that institution because the mine is refusing to hand over the property..."

"We still need to pay for water and lights, and I am told that averages R2m or so, if my memory serves me well, every month,” said Lesufi.
