Mpumalanga – The Hawks have arrested a nurse after he was allegedly found demanding money to perform an abortion when the procedure is normally done for free at public health facilities.
It is alleged that a woman who wanted to terminate her pregnancy sought the service at the clinic. The nurse told her to pay R700. She reported it to the police, who then set a trap. The woman returned to the clinic with the money, all marked bills. After he took the cash, the Hawks swept in and took the man into custody.
"I would like to thank the patient who reported the matter for her bravery. What happened is seriously unacceptable and action must be taken if the employee is found guilty. We cannot allow such illegal acts to spread in our health facilities.” Bethal resident, Thandiwe Ndaba, is questioning how a professional nurse could do this in a government facility without anyone knowing. “I believe someone in the facility knew about this crime, but they failed to report it because they were getting something from the accused. Those people must also be held accountable because if not, more nurses will continue committing these sorts of crime.”
