Phaahla was responding to a viral video viral showing the terrible conditions at the hospital.

Former broadcaster Tom London says his comments on social media are being confused.

He posted a video criticising poor conditions at the hospital.

He now says he received good clinical treatment, but was appalled at the attitude of health professionals.
