The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Limpopo has laid a criminal charge of culpable homicide against nurses and a charge of criminal negligence against the Limpopo Department of Health after a baby died outside a local clinic.
DA member of the provincial legislature in Limpopo and spokesperson for health Risham Maharaj said that the baby’s parents and eye witnesses who were at the clinic at the time had alleged that the baby had dropped to the ground during birth.
“This comes after a woman arrived at the clinic which is meant to be a 24-hour clinic, during the early hours of the morning. She was denied entry by the security guard and no assistance was forthcoming from anyone in the clinic,” Maharaj said.
“The woman eventually gave birth outside the gate, while waiting for the clinic to open, apparently only at 07:00. The nurse indicated all was well when they were eventually attended to, and were transferred to Donald Fraser Hospital, where the baby passed on.”
Maharaj said that the DA had laid the charge against the nurse and the department of health as it was “determined to ensure a transparent investigation and accountability for the uncaring manner in which the mother was treated”.
“There should have never been a scenario in which a pregnant mother is denied entry, and a baby is born outside the gates of a clinic that is meant to be operational. We send our heartfelt condolences to the young parents of the deceased baby as well as the entire family, and hope that this case helps them receive some answers and closure over this ordeal,” Maharaj said.
“The DA believes that good quality healthcare in rural areas needs to be prioritised to ensure rural communities of their dignity and access to healthcare.”

Earlier this year, a big fallout with manager Reshma Shetty ended up in a bigger development for Karan Johar. The ace filmmaker decided to launch his own talent management agency along with Cornerstone and called it Dharma Cornerstone Agency. Most of the Dharma talents were reportedly told to leave Matrix and join DCA. And while Ananya Panday quickly left her previous agency Kwan Talent Management and joined the DCA bandwagon, we hear Janhvi Kapoor too is following suit.
A source shared with Bollywood Hungama, "While Salman Khan too began his agency United Being Talent after his big showdown with Matrix founder Reshma Shetty, that plan didn't quite work in his favour. But eventually, Karan changed the game and is now getting all his contacts under one roof. Janhvi recently bid farewell to Matrix and while she was ready to poach her own manager into DCA, the latter didn't want to quit Matrix. While she is already out of Matrix, she will soon join the DCA list." Her cousin sister Shanaya Kapoor is already represented by the same team.
Meanwhile, Janhvi's already locked work commitments will continue to be under Matrix, unless and until their tenures are complete. DCA is supposed to take complete control post that.
