DA welcomes court ruling against Life Esidimeni NGOs via SABCNewsOnline

The party says it also wants criminal charges instituted against those who were responsible for the deaths of the 144 psychiatric patients.to unlicensed and ill-equipped NGOs in 2015 and 2016.This follows the unit’s findings that the NGOs continued to claim payment from the Gauteng Health Department even after the patients were removed from their care.

“I also think that finally, we should see some prosecution for those whose negligence led to the deaths of 144 mental patients. I think it’s important that we see progress with civil charges, not just civil action to recover the money, but the SIU should speed up their investigation, the police should do their job, and those who caused the deaths of 144 people should be prosecuted.”
