SAD video of 2 security guards beating up an elderly patient at KZN hospital – Watch

The two security guards caught on video assaulting an elderly patient at Estcourt Hospital in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) have been dismissed by their employer, the provincial department of health has confirmed.

This is after the security guards were initially suspended with immediate effect for the assault, which took place last week Thursday.

The incident was said to be recorded by a nurse, who failed to intervene during the assault or report the matter to the hospital’s management.

With KZN Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane condemning the incident, she indicated that the matter was brought to her attention by a journalist.

“It is extremely concerning that, instead of making management aware, they decided to send out the video.

“If they had followed processes, you’ll find that the patient might not have been assaulted as severely as they were. We hear that it might have been one of our health workers who took this video. If it is, then it is very unfortunate,” the MEC said in a statement.

The nurse has since been placed on precautionary suspension, according to reports.
