Renaming of Gauteng Hospitals I fully agree it is about time to change all the hospital names which will then finally complete the "Africanisation" program of previously "Colonial" hospitals. These hospitals are already true examples of "Africanisation" with stolen beds, linens and equipment. It is an insult to the "Colonial" regimes who built these hospitals, that these hospitals still carry their original names. Proof of the sorry state of affairs is that not one Minister would dare be admitted to the General Public sector of any of these hospitals. The fact that name changing costs could be better spent on re-equipping these hospitals so that they could provide a better service is irrelevant. As the State is incapable of building new hospital facilities or even running existing "inherited" hospitals properly, changing of names is an attempt to divert attention away from the incompetence, laziness and corruption of the current administration. Suggested new names: 1. Robert Mugabe Hospital. A true hero of Africanisation, applauded at the recent meeting of SADAC heads of state. 2. Idi Amin Memorial Hospital. Another true African hero. 3. Charles Taylor Hospital. His gangs of `butchers' were experts at amputating arms and hands of dissidents. Changing names in South Africa has become a racist obsession with total disregard to the poor service levels and the enormous wasteful cost implications thereof. It is an attempt to hide the legacy of a sophisticated infrastructure inherited from the "Colonial" past since it has now been allowed to decay and become evermore dysfunctional.
