Ombud investigation into Shonisani Lethole’s death completed

The Office of the Health Ombud has completed its investigation into the death of a businessman, Shonisani Lethole.

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 at Tembisa Tertiary Hospital in July.

Lethole had tweeted Mkhize prior to his death, telling him of the treatment at the hospital and that he had not eaten for 48 hours.

In June, Shonisani was admitted in the same hospital due to breathing complications. He complained of not being fed for 2 days and even tweeted the health Minister Zweli Mkhize. Sadly he later succumbed to COVID-19. pic.twitter.com/MWMw0gGSH7
