200 new Esidimeni compensation claims
The Gauteng Provincial Government has received 200 new claims for financial compensation from families of Life Esidimeni patients who survived the botched transfer to unsuitable NGOs.
This was revealed by Thomas Masebe, the Premier’s Spokesperson, at a meeting last week of the Gauteng Legislature’s Oversight Committee on the Premier’s Office and Legislature (OCPOL).
According to Masebe, most of these claims have been verified as being covered by the Arbitration ruling made by Justice Dikgang Moseneke.
He said there had been “a few instances” of different family members disputing a claim.
