94 Psychiatric Patients Died, And The Calls Now Are For Criminal Prosecutions

Gauteng Health MEC Qedani Mahlangu lied and 94 patients died - she must be criminally charged!

Those who are responsible for the deaths of 94 patients should be held criminally liable because they are directly involved in homicide.

If 94 mental patients had died from official negligence in a normal democracy the entire natl govt wd have been forced to resign

Qedani Mahlangu has fallen. We expect more heads to roll. 94 mentally ill patients dead due to negligence. This is genocidal. It's criminal.

Makgoba says MEC wanted to pay R100 per day, instead of R320 on patients - argued it was cost cutting #LifeEsidimeni
