Pretoria - Claims are being probed that boxer Corrie Sanders was turned away from the Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria after being shot, a health official said.

“Kalafong and Dr George Mukhari Hospitals are the referral hospitals for patients from the North West province because of their proximity to that province,” Gauteng health spokesman Simon Zwane said.

How in the hell do you get shot and go to the hospital and get turned around??wtf kind of world do we live in when people who are trained to save peoples life's reject them?

WTF is this. The guy was shot, how in hell could they refuse to take care of him.

The whole country is fucked up. It's not the average citizens, it's the way the institutions are run.

I'm not sure he would have survived either way. Steve Biko Academic Hospital is about 50 minutes from Brits, according to google maps, and Kalafong Hospital is about an hour. Either way, it's completely f**cked for any hospital to turn someway away when they've been shot.

That's a relic of the Apartheid days. In America it was very common, they had black hospitals and ambulances and would have to take even the dangerously injured to the black hospital although they would pass white hospitals on the way. I happened to bessie Smith that way. She died aged 43 from a car accident. The ambulance took over an hour to arrive.

The stain on my great country right there. Should have NEVER been that way. All human beings deserved to be helped in their dire time of need. On the flipside, mean people who thrive on hurting, maiming, or killing others should be erradicated.
