‘Not enough evidence’ to prosecute Life Esidimeni deaths: NPA

At least 144 psychiatric patients died after 1,711 mentally ill people were moved from Life Esidimeni homes into ill-equipped and underfunded NGOs in 2016 in Gauteng.

"During April 2017,the NPA received 144 inquiry dockets regarding the Life Esidimeni tragedy and [Baloyi] then assigned a team of four experienced advocates to the matter to work closely with the investigators in collecting more information to build a solid case.

Why then waste moola on the commission? Judge Dikgang Moseneke did a sterling job as chair, and now this!

Useless NPA What a travesty! Absolutely disgusting. There's a saying 'Justice delayed is Justice denied' and this seem to be the order of the day in South Africa.
