Lusanda Bill

Nurses have fled from a rural clinic in the Transkei, Eastern Cape earlier this week.
A boyfriend of an HIV-positive threatened to shoot the nurses.
Department spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo says the woman had tested HIV-positive and went to another clinic, with the same result.
He says the clinic was forced to close on Monday as all the nursing staff had run away, adding that they had still not returned to work by today.
Yesterday the district manager was trying to sort out the matter but was not successful.
The Provincial Health MEC Phumulo Masualle is expected to visit the area tomorrow in an effort to calm the situation.
