The Office of the Health Ombud has completed its investigation into the death of businessman Shonisani Lethole at Tembisa Tertiary Hospital in July, reports The Citizen.
Minister of Health, Dr Zweli Mkhize, lodged a complaint with the Ombud, Professor Malegapuru Makgoba, to investigate the circumstances surrounding the care and death of Lethole, who had tweeted Mkhize prior to his death, telling him of the treatment at the hospital and that he had not eaten for 48 hours. Yesterday, the Health Ombud said that a preliminary report had been prepared and shared with all relevant persons, including Tembisa Tertiary Hospital and that final report will be released in January 2021.
