Lawyers for former Gauteng Health managers say Life Esidimeni Inquiry findings are not binding
Lawyers for the former senior managers of the Gauteng Health Department have told the High Court in Pretoria that the findings of Justice Dikgang Moseke and the Esidimeni Commission are not binding. This came out during closing arguments by the legal representatives at the Life Esidimeni Inquiry.
Legal representative Tasmia Arbee argued that former Health MEC Qedani Mahlangu can’t be held criminally liable. He argued that the findings of the 2018 arbitration that was led by former Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke are not binding. For former Head of Gauteng Health Dr Barney Selebano, his legal team has advised the court not to rely much on arbitration outcomes preceding the Life Esidimeni Inquest.
