after she failed to show up to testify in the Life Esidimeni inquest.Dr Manamela has cited ill health and difficulties uploading evidence documents as her reasons for not appearing.
Former Head of the Gauteng Health Department, Dr Barney Selebano, has told the inquest that what transpired in the Life Esidimeni tragedy was shameful. “Well, remember you must understand what was happening around that time. This was all over the media. So as a carrying department, you should feel sorry about that. You should feel sorry about that,” says Dr Selebano.
The legal representative for the families of 44 of the deceased patients, Nasreen Rajab-Budlender, put it to Selebano that the department had ignored concerns by interest groups not to move patients from the Life Esidimeni facilities. “And the reason they were very concerned and asking a meeting to reconsider the plan to reduce the beds at Life Esidimeni, and most importantly in this letter- the main reason was that the community mental health services that the NGOs were not ready to accommodate. So would you agree with me that their concerns were justice? Yes, it was justified. Do you agree? Yes they were justified to raise their concerns to the department,” says Rajab-Budlender.
She has to as matter of urgency and accountability. For once let her help bereaved families to find closure.
