The family of Ngcebo Gcaleka is demanding justice following a tragic series of events that led to his untimely death at the Mayville Clinic.
Ngcebo, who had been experiencing severe health issues, was initially taken to King Edward Hospital, where medical staff allegedly instructed his family to take him to a local clinic, citing hospital policy.
According to the Gcaleka family, they were told that Ngcebo needed to start his treatment at a clinic as per hospital regulations.
Following this directive, Ngcebo and his family traveled to the Mayville Clinic by taxi.
Upon arrival, the clinic staff provided him with medication and instructed him to return home.
Tragically, Ngcebo’s condition worsened rapidly. Despite the medication given at the clinic, Ngcebo passed away in the clinic’s courtyard.
The family, heartbroken and distraught, asserts that Ngcebo’s death could have been prevented had he received the necessary treatment at King Edward Hospital.
The Gcaleka family is now calling for an investigation into the handling of Ngcebo’s case. They believe that his death was due to negligence and the mismanagement of his medical care.
The family has submitted formal complaints and is gathering evidence to support their claims that Ngcebo passed away due to the clinic’s failure to provide adequate care.
“Our brother was turned away when he needed urgent medical attention. We took him to the clinic as instructed, but they sent him home with only medication. He died right there at the clinic. This is unacceptable, and we want those responsible to be held accountable,” said a family spokesperson.
The case has sparked a broader discussion about the healthcare system and the protocols in place for treating patients.
