Check out the huge piles of unwashed linen I saw on my visit this morning!.
Visited Joburg Provincial Laundry (serving 17 facilities). Found: huge backlog, 1/2 tunnel washers broken, only 87 staff vs 180 posts, machines under-maintained. Patients go without clean linen while dept denies a crisis. #Laundry @JackBloomDA.Read:
