Motsoaledi says parties cannot canvas for votes at hospitals.

The minister wouldn’t be drawn on who the culprits were but warned that hospitals were not fair game when it came to electioneering.

“Patients will be disturbed. Remember people in hospital are vulnerable. It’s not a good idea for them to be disturbed.”

The minister was speaking on the Bongani Bingwa on Talk Radio 702 on Wednesday morning.
