The South African National Blood Service has put out a warning that blood shortages is at a critical stage.
A SANBS official says that people's lives were at risk if the situation did not change in the next few days.
In Kwazulu-Natal the blood shortage is at its worst, with less than one day supply of the O blood group in stock.
The organization is appealing to the public to donate blood in order to save lives.
According to News24, the organization concedes, that the school holidays has had an impact on the blood shortage due to the majority of the donors being school children above the age of 16.
