KZN listeners share memories of the Addington Children's Hospital

Loading player...
Since, we will be visiting the hospital on Friday morning, tomorrow, we asked you to share some of the memories you might have from the hospital.

The KwaZulu-Natal Children’s Hospital (formerly known as the Addington Children’s Hospital) was built in 1928 and was the first hospital for children on the African continent.

Unfortunately, the hospital was closed in 1984 by the Apartheid government as the hospital treated children of all races.

It has been in the process of being restored since 2013 but there is still a long way to go.

Nevertheless, the memories live on.
