A number of unidentified suspects entered the clinic, overpowered two security guards and tied them up.

The suspects fled with 18 computers, two electronic gadgets, one tablet, six televisions and three wi-fi routers.

Tshwane Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Health, Rina Marx, says incidents of theft have a negative impact on clinic operations and deny the broader community the opportunity to have uninterrupted and quality services.

"I strongly condemn these deplorable acts that target the City’s health infrastructure which caters to the most vulnerable groups in our communities.

"The City of Tshwane is striving to offer the best possible services to communities at all our 24 Primary Health Care (PHC) Clinics."
