“It was a very difficult time the events leading to her death. The saddest part is you cannot visit, so there were no goodbyes. It is a very cold experience. The only comfort we have is the passion that she had serving people,” Pieterse told TimesLIVE.Facebook group. “At Bellville Melomed paeds [paediatrics] you walk in a stranger, but when you leave you are family. Moemfie was always smiling and welcoming. Rest in eternal peace, all nurses who’ve succumbed to Covid-19,” she said.
Sandra Marion expressed her condolences to families and friends of healthcare workers: “My heart is so sore reading this. I have a very close family member who was in quarantine for two weeks. No results yet. Today another very close family member went into quarantine. She had close contact working with a doctor who is positive. I pray her results come back negative.”Sister Nandipha Kambi of Gugulethu died this week due to Covid-19 complications.
“She was on a ventilator for three weeks, but we thought that the worst was over when she was weaned off the ventilator. She was stable, so we all thought that she was getting better,” she said. Haffejee described Kambi as a down-to-earth and dedicated nurse: “In the two years that I’ve worked with her, I’ve never heard her raise her voice even once. That’s how pleasant her personality was.”
The deaths of Kambi and Julies follow that of Anncha Kepkey from Parow, the assistant manager at the trauma unit at Tygerberg Hospital, who died due to Covid-19 at Melomed Hospital in Bellville on Wednesday morning.
