Some of the family members, like the daughters of Mrs Bets Claassen (who died on 17 April) <\/a>and the grandchild of Mrs Lena Shabangu (who died last year in June) burst into tears when the proceedings started.<\/p>\n

The people asked that Mr Pat Mazibuku meet them at the gate, but he refused to come out.<\/p>\n

After negotiations with security, they said that only six people can go in.<\/p>\n

Only Mr Marius Coetzee (a lawyer), Mr Wessel Basson (deputy leader, NCP), Ms Tess Riekert (Provincial Women\u2019s League Leader, NCP), Ms Coleen Lamprecht (St Joseph\u2019s Home for the Aged) and a journalist of the Observer<\/i> were allowed to enter the hospital\u2019s premises.<\/p>\n

The security tried to take the journalist\u2019s camera by force from her at the entrance of the hospital and said that no photo\u2019s are allowed. Only after she gave the camera to a colleague, they gave permission that she could enter.<\/p>\n

Mr Mazibuku thanked the delegation that they brought the matters of concern to his attention and also promised that all the allegations will be investigated.<\/p>\n

Mr Basson gave the hospital a 21 day deadline for answers to the concerns and allegations.<\/p>\n
