Many individuals seeking medical care at Nolungile Clinic in Khayelitsha are experiencing growing dissatisfaction due to prolonged wait times and extensive queues. Patients report that these significant delays are disrupting their day-to-day activities.

The clinic's leadership points to a combination of mounting patient volume and strained operational resources as the primary causes for the current circumstances.

According to a spokesperson for the Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness in Khayelitsha’s Eastern sub-structure, Abulele Dyasi, the facility currently possesses the necessary staff and equipment to deliver healthcare services.

However, Dyasi noted that the rapid expansion of the local community is creating ongoing strain on these services due to population growth.
