The sister of late Limpopo tycoon Theo Mphosi is seeking the urgent exhumation of his body so that a second autopsy, including toxicology testing, can establish what exactly caused his sudden death.
"Every day that my late brother's body is not exhumed, and a forensic investigation is not [carried out], prejudices the ability to reliably ascertain the true cause of his death and to bring justice and closure to his loved ones," businesswoman Moditswi Cindrella Ramokoto wrote in papers filed at the Limpopo High Court in Polokwane on Monday.
EFF leader Julius Malema, EFF MP Vuyani Pambo and Deputy Police Minister Cassel Mathale attended Mphosi's funeral, with Malema describing the businessman's passing as"premature"., Mphosi's uncle Molebatsi Mohlahlana wished that"should his death have been orchestrated, those who propelled it [will] not find peace".
Dr Sipho Mfolozi, a medical expert consulted by Ramokoto, also detailed several serious and inexplicable deficits in the autopsy report that Mojapelo produced. Mfolozi produced forensic reports on 1 August and 23 August 2023, which have been annexed to Ramokoto's urgent exhumation application.
"One forensic histology procedure that was omitted is testing for the presence/absence of calcium oxalate crystals in renal tissue by polarised light. These crystals are seen after lethal ingestion of antifreeze and/or brake fluid .
