He recommended that the Gauteng department of health take 19 staff members – medical doctors and nursing staff – on a disciplinary hearing for whatever they have done. The 19-year-old said her mother went to the hospital in July because of chronic illness complications and she was given various reasons for the cause of her death. Ncube said she was told her mother died because of a growth on her throat and was also told she died from Covid-19.
Another woman, whose statement was read at the press conference yesterday where Lethole's family spoke about his death, claimed she had a botched eye surgery which now needs R23,000 to be fixed at a private hospital. She said she cannot afford it because she has been unable to work since losing her sight and her husband is a pensioner.

Unfortunately, about 80% of families of ill-treated patients won't come forward as they are in the country illegally. Tembisa Hospital is a big mess that can't be sorted soon. Some people leave their countries just to give birth there and also to recieve TB and HIV treatment
