A few hours after brazen criminals held up a security guard at a 24-hour clinic, they returned to the scene of the crime, demanding medical attention. The armed robbery has since prompted the KwaZulu-Natal department of health to suspend the 24-hour service at the Qadi Clinic in Inanda, north of Durban. Provincial health spokesperson Sam Mkhwanazi said the security guard was held at gunpoint on Saturday when armed men attempted to force him into the guardhouse at around 01:20. However, the brazen criminals returned to the clinic at 04:30 demanding medical attention for one of them who was injured during the earlier altercation, said Mkhwanazi. All emergencies, including births that would normally have gone to Qadi Clinic after 18:00 will be transferred to neighbouring health facilities.
