Judge Mmonoa Teffo ruled against the applicant, “It is in the interest of everyone here that this inquest should be brought to finality. We cannot sit at “infenito”. We have to finalize this inquest. As such I just don’t [think] if there’s a need again to delay this matter. I must indicate that this thing of stand down the proceedings is not going to be in the interest of justice. So on that basis I conclude that is not in the interest of justice to a further postponement in this matter.

About 144 patients died during the June 2016 marathon relocation from Life Esidimeni to other NGOs, mostly unlicensed and not suitable to accommodate mental health patients.
