Gauteng Health Department delays giving answers on missing baby
18 October 2018
The Gauteng Health Department has still not concluded an investigation into the missing baby born to Ms Khombo Mhlongo on 29 May this year at the Reefentse Clinic in Stinkwater, near Hammanskraal.
This is according to Gauteng Health MEC Gwen Ramokgopa in a written reply to my questions in the Gauteng Legislature.
She says that “due to the unavailability of the implicated midwife due to illness and extended sick leave, negligence or the absence thereof could not be established.”
This is a poor excuse for a serious case where a baby could have been kidnapped or killed for its body parts.
