A recent oversight by the DA at Witbank Provincial Hospital has found the government institution to continue operating under shocking and dangerous conditions. Michele Clarke MP, the DA Shadow Minister of Health, returned to Witbank Hospital merely weeks after assisting a pregnant woman in distress at the facility. “Unfortunately, our visit revealed that little has been done to address the shocking and dangerous conditions that endangered Cindy Steyn and her baby’s life,” said Clarke. Clarke revealed that the DA has requested that both the Health Ombud, Prof Taole Mokoena, and Human Rights Commission investigate the situation. The DA believes had her partner, Pierre Botha, not managed to contact DA Shadow Minister of Health, Michele Clarke, Cindy Steyn might not be alive to tell her harrowing tale.
