ANC slow to act against Qedani Mahlangu
20 March 2018
The ANC in Gauteng claims to take accountability seriously but it is only now taking former Gauteng Health MEC Qedani Mahlangu before its Integrity Committee for the Esidimeni tragedy.
Why did it take them so long when it was always obvious that she was primarily to blame for the deaths of 144 Life Esidimeni patients who were sent to illegally licensed NGOs?
More than a year after the devastating findings of the Health Ombudsman in this matter, Mahlangu is still a member of the ANC’s Gauteng Provincial Executive Committee.
She was given leave of absence to study in England, thus delaying her testimony at the Arbitration hearings chaired by former deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke.
