Tafta staff cleared of abuse and theft, but residents claim it’s a cover-up

Non-profit organisation Tafta, The Association for the Aged, investigated these allegations at their Langeler Towers and John Conradie House premises that houses about 600 residents.

Shamam said resolutions had both technical and practical components with a staged implementation process. “We do not support the investigation. It has solved little. From the outset, there were signs of a cover up. Witnesses were intimidated to deny and retract statements. Investigators showed no signs of discovering the truth and left the door open for perpetrators to cover their tracks,” he said.

A 75-year-old resident had her shoulder broken after an intruder entered her room while she slept. She was found the next morning unconscious by her neighbour, lying askew on the bed with her underwear lying on the floor.“It has been hell, and I have been crying non-stop,” said the woman.Shamam said they were aware of the incident and were in communication with the daughter since receiving the letter of complaint on August 28.

The elderly woman said she questioned him and he alleged that somebody said she was sick and then left. She feared he had ulterior motives.“During the investigation, he continued making allegations, and an interim protection order was granted to the area manager Thembi Maduma as she felt harassed and abused.”
