She was shocked, shattered and bewildered, she said, when the doctor told her that she could not conceive because she did not have a uterus."I couldn't comprehend what the doctor was saying. How possible is that because I have a baby ?" the 32-year-old told AFP, holding back tears.She traced her steps back to the only hospital she had ever been admitted to, Johannesburg's Chris Hani Baragwanath, one of the largest healthcare centres in Africa.
South African health laws forbid forced or coerced sterilisation, although doctors may sterilise without consent in special circumstances, to save a life. In testimonies to the commission, victims claimed that hospital staff had threatened to deny them medical attention if they refused to sign the consent papers, the report said.
For the past three years, she has waged an uphill battle - writing to, and staging a sit-in at, the health department - in search of answers about her missing uterus."It's as if they just removed a nail and it will grow back. You are just treated like someone who is annoying," Msibi said, at her house in the district of Boksburg, east of Johannesburg.
