A Rustenburg mother of four who won a lawsuit against the [b]Limpopo Health MEC[/b] for malpractice has yet to be paid, notes a [s]Saturday Star[/s] report. [b]Estelle Kunneke[/b] reportedly said she was still waiting for the state to pay her the R2.8m owed to her following a medical negligence case dating back to 2005. The [b]North Gauteng High Court[/b] had ordered the department to pay Kunneke the settlement amount as well as her legal fees after she was misdiagnosed with breast cancer. The former estate agent underwent a double mastectomy and endured months of chemotherapy after being told she had stage IV breast carcinoma in both her breasts.
