• R2.84 billion spent on a 90-year-old hospital that is not finished 9 years later
• The New Mapulaneng Regional Hospital was announced in March 2017 and is intended to serve as a high-capacity regional referral facility for surrounding primary healthcare clinics and community health centres.
• The hospital's completion has been delayed due to the liquidation of the contractor and ongoing disruptions from community-led protest action, leaving it at 78% completion nearly a decade after its original deadline.
