Motsoaledi says the investigative report into the death of medical intern Mazwi is due soon

# Minister of Health Aaron Motsoaledi says the findings into the death of medical intern Alulutho Mazwi will be released within weeks. Mazwi, who was working in the paediatrics department at Umlazi’s Prince Mshiyeni Memorial Hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, died in May last year while on duty, after allegedly being required to work despite being ill. He suffered from diabetes. The investigation, led by Health Ombud Taole Mokoena, also covers other unexplained deaths of junior doctors in the province. Motsoaledi says those implicated will face appropriate action.
