Livingstone casualty unit 'a battlefield'

THE casualty unit at Port Elizabeth's Livingstone Hospital is becoming a secondary battlefield for the city's gangsters, according to prominent pastor Brian Draghoender, who has been working at the hospital for 20 years.

The casualty unit is often packed with people – drunk, angry and fighting – on a Saturday night. - Estelle Ellis
