Mmegi is however reliably informed that at a meeting held last week, which Moagi denied was ever held, employees were told not to expect their salaries at the end of the month.

“We were called for a meeting and told that the government could not bail the hospital out and that we are likely not to get our salaries. In addition, there is no food for patients,” a source said.
