'Deaths were negligently caused by former health MEC' - Judge Teffo

Judge Mmonoa Teffo has found that the deaths at Life Esidimeni were negligently caused by former Gauteng Health MEC Qedani Mahlangu and former provincial health head Makgabo Manamela. Back in 2016, over a hundred mental health patients died from neglect and starvation, after being moved from the Life Esidimeni facility to ill-equipped and unlicensed non-governmental organisations. #enca #dstv403

Very sad, this judge cannot read English. What a shame and embarrassment 😮

[@sinazom9010]

I’m embarrassed by your ignorance. Imagine being “embarrassed” by a wrong thing. You need to be embarrassed by the actions of Qedani and her peers. The Judge’s English is just fine.
