LifeEsidimeni 'We don't trust any facility now. It is better to just look after her here at home.'
"We don't trust any facility now. It is better to just look after her here at home," said Lindi Juqu, aunt to Xoliswa Juqu, who was recently located by the department of health.
Health MEC Gwen Ramakgopa said Xoliswa could not be located because her surname was spelled incorrectly in their records. "The surname was spelled incorrectly, that is why home affairs took long to locate her," said Ramakgopa, speaking outside Xoliswa's home in Soweto on Sunday.
