22 July 2024, Johannesburg – SECTION27 will approach the high court tomorrow to request a postponement of the case brought by Cancer Alliance, which was scheduled to be heard on Tuesday, 23 July 2024 at the Johannesburg Hight Court. The MEC for Health in Gauteng, the Gauteng Department of Health and the two hospitals that provide radiation oncology services in the province only filed their answering affidavit in the case on the evening of Friday, 19 July 2024. The Respondents’ answering affidavit had been due on 12 July 2024 and they then asked for an extension to 16 July 2024. As a result of the delay, Cancer Alliance is now considering its response and preparing a replying affidavit and the matter will not be able to proceed tomorrow. We will advise on the new date once one is allocated by the judge.
