Minister Phaahla slams Eastern Cape clinic for not treating rape victim

Health Minister Joe Phaahla is slamming staff and management at the Motherwell Clinic in the Eastern Cape.

It follows a finding that the death of 15-year-old Zenizole Vena was a result of the clinic’s refusal to treat her.

Vena had been raped and clinic staff allegedly told her to first go to a police station to report the matter.

She died at the police station.

“I don’t think there’s any excuse for the attitude which comes out in the report to say where nurses say they’re afraid to touch the patient because they think they’ll be tampering with the evidence,” the minister said.
