The South African Communist
Party has raised its concern regarding the recent closure of public hospitals
due to violent protest action in the Eastern Cape.
In a statement the SACP
cautioned protesting communities that any criminal act like closing of
hospitals, schools, and burning of public property delegitimizes any genuine
demands they may have.
SACP Provincial Spokesperson
Siyabonga Mdodi said there is no demand that can justify anyone denying the
right to life and health of a person, because some of the people that go to the
hospitals are at risk of losing their lives as a result of closure of hospitals.
Mdodi added that public
violence and damage to property cannot be a way of expressing anger or a
demand.
