The Kempton Park Hospital (South Africa, Gauteng) was abandoned, fully equipped, in 1997. Bureaucratic indecision and tender wars have kept it unused for 14 years, costing the South African taxpayers over R800 000 a year to safeguard. It is potentially more profitable to someone influential shut rather than open and serving the public.
The series emphasises the crushing failure of civilisation to evolve beyond the labyrinth of self-interest and highlights what might have been.
