# The DA in Gauteng says around 200 prostate cancer patients at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital are missing and possibly dead due to long delays in radiation treatment. This follows a written reply from Health MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko, confirming a backlog of 800 patients, many of whom cannot be reached. The DA’s Jack Bloom says 250-million-rand meant for cancer treatment was not used and urges premier Panyaza Lesufi to fire Nkomo-Ralehoko for gross negligence.
