South African and global news updates with a twist. 2oceansvibe is South Africa’s biggest solely owned online news platform with local and world news updates.
After nine years of avoiding accountability, the Pretoria High Court ruled that the deaths of nine of the 144 Life Esidimeni patients were caused by the negligent conduct of former Gauteng Health MEC Qedani Mahlangu and the head of the mental health division, Makgabo Manamela. This follows months of gruelling testimony to determine if anyone should be held criminally liable for the 2016 tragedy that shocked South Africa.
One centre even distributed one set of medication to all the patients in their care. Many of the death certificates, however, listed 'natural causes' as a reason for their deaths. The judgment in the #LifeEsidimeni inquest has been handed down. This is just one of the many who lost their loved ones in this tragic case.#SayTheirNames #Inquest@TheSADAG @LifeEsidimeni @OCJ_RSA pic.twitter.
