The roof of the Mutale health centre, in Vhembe, has been blown away by a storm, the Limpopo health department said on Monday.

Spokesperson Adele van der Linde said the corrugated iron sheets of the toilet, mobile office, and maternity ward were ripped off on Sunday.

“No one was hurt, but our major problem is the maternity ward, as we cannot help pregnant women,” she said.

The women had been sent to neighbouring clinics, and those needing serious attention had been referred to the Donald Fraser hospital.

Out-patient services were not affected.

The department and the district were assessing the damage and intended fixing the building as soon as possible, Van der Linde said.
