WATCH | Emotional father details how electricity blackout led to his daughter's death: Three-year old Neyamiah Eaton woke up struggling to breathe on Thursday morning, her father Curwyn Eaton said in a recorded conversation with TimesLIVE Video.
“I was speeding at the time to the hospital, just trying to get there. And, you know, you've got these two things running through your mind — you don't know if you must stop and do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or try to get to the professionals at the hospital.
Eaton said the unreliable electricity supply — not just loadshedding but frequent, lengthy faults — saw the couple juggling Neyamiah's care between the oxygen machine and backup oxygen cylinder. On Monday Build One South Africa leader Mmusi Maimane opened a case of culpable homicide against Pravin Gordhan and electricity minister
“With all the support and all the leaders that have contacted us and asked us to to be part of something greater, I may possibly look into it. But I will sit down with people after the funeral because that's most important. But after that, if I can assist people of South Africa, then I'm willing to fight,” Eaton said.
