. At the Kalafong Hospital in Gauteng, equipment to the value of R5,8 million was purchased by the provincial Department of Health during January 2008 for use in the ICU and High Care facilities. The use of some of the equipment had to be delayed as the project was still under construction on the date of delivery. The project was completed in November 2009, which is almost two years after the equipment was purchased. Some of the equipment was in storage at the hospital and the warranties had already lapsed before the equipment was used.
