News Roundup: Health system under pressure as Covid-19 cases increase in Gauteng

Gauteng, the epicentre of the Covid-19 crisis is currently facing a healthcare disaster. Hospitals in the northeastern province are at full capacity and cannot help patients in dire need of oxygen. There is a shortage of oxygen and beds and healthcare professionals are having to turn patients away. “This is not a wave; this is a tsunami. Reversing this runaway train is going to be almost impossible. We don’t have the capacity or resources.” writes an anonymous doctor for News24. 

Two brothers from South Africa have disappeared with $3.6 billion worth of Bitcoin from their cryptocurrency investment platform. According to Business Tech, the matter has been reported to the Hawks by a law firm. “It’s also told crypto exchanges across the globe should any attempt be made to convert the digital coins.” When investors were informed that the company was a victim of a hack in April, they were requested not to report the incident to the authorities, which immediately caused suspicion.
