The decision to move mentally ill patients from Life Esidimeni to non-governmental organisations led to over 100 deaths.
Incompetent and unqualified public officials are to blame for the tragedy.
These are the catastrophic consequences of hiring people who are not qualified to do specific jobs.
Hiring unqualified comrades goes against the principle of batho pele.
What type of government allows people to die in such inhumane conditions?
Was a study conducted to assess the NGOs involved in the Esidimini tragedy?
Why were those mentally ill patients treated like cattle?
Unfortunately, some families still cannot even locate their mentally ill relatives.
The most vulnerable in our society must never be subjected to such cruelty.
Legal action must taken against former Gauteng Health MEC Qedani Mahlangu and her team.
