Durban - THE father of Zayyaan Sayed has denied involvement in the killing of specialist anaesthetist, Dr Abdulhay Munshi.

Before the investigations were finalised, they were charged with culpable homicide and were each granted R10 000 bail. “He has instructed his legal team to engage with the investigating and prosecuting authorities on a regular basis in his endeavours to ensure that justice is not only achieved but also done in a legitimate and transparent manner in this matter.”

“He called to ask if I could assist with the case as the HPCSA was doing nothing. He then mentioned that he and Dr Munshi had received death threats. We both didn’t take it too seriously even though the thought lingered in the back of our minds.”“This is not going to help. If a killer wants to kill you, he will find you by any means. At some stage, Beale needs to come out of hiding and face the matter head-on.

In a virtual media briefing on Thursday, Dr Kgosi Letlape, HPCSA chairperson, said: “We were quite concerned when we saw the arrest of the practitioners despite the fact that there was a regulatory body that was looking into issues that were raised. “We are extremely disappointed that the lawmakers and the police who are supposed to protect us chose not to uphold the rule of law.”

Dr Chris Archer, of the South African Private Practitioners Forum, said that Munshi, as an anaesthetist, was at the front line during the pandemic.
