JOHANNESBURG – Former Gauteng Health MEC Qedani Mahlangu and for Gauteng Mental Health Director Dr Makgabo Manamela were found guilty for causing some of the deaths in the Life Esidimeni saga.
The judgment comes 8 years since over 100 mental health patients died from neglect and starvation.
Families now believe that they will finally get some answers.
The victims were moved from the specialised psychiatric care hospital to ill-equipped and unlicensed NGOs.
This was after former Gauteng Health MEC terminated the contract and closed the facility in 2016.
