Police use rubber bullets to disperse protestors in Pretoria


JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- Violent clashes erupted outside the Kalafong Tertiary Hospital in Pretoria, South Africa on Thursday between members of Operation Dudula and members of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) when health minister Joe Phaahla visited the healthcare facility, and the police had to use rubber bullets to disperse the protesters and maintain order.

Members of Operation Dudula have been protesting outside the hospital to prevent undocumented foreigners from accessing healthcare. Outside the gates of the healthcare facility, the members clashed with those of the EFF, the pro-migrant and major opposition party in South Africa.
