If it wasn’t for a kind taxi boss, a gogo and her granddaughter would have been left stranded at a taxi rank on Monday, 12 April.
This after a queue marshal refused to let them board a taxi with the remains of the twins that the 16-year-old girl lost in a miscarriage on Sunday, 11 April. The babies’ remains were in a shopping bag.
The 49-year-old gogo from Estcourt, KZN told the publication that taxi boss Scara Mnguni came to their rescue. Scara said he offered to help because he knew the family. “Taxi bosses should help passengers in their time of need. The gogo wished to bury the babies at home but she didn’t have money to hire private transport.”
Detailing events that led to the miscarriage, gogo said her granddaughter, who was five months pregnant, was rushed to Madiba Clinic on Friday, 9 April after she saw a blood clot. She said the clinic transferred her to Estcourt Hospital, where she was told everything was fine.
“On Sunday, she called me and told me the babies came out while she was peeing,” said the gogo. She said she got to the hospital on Monday and they were given a letter and instructed to have it stamped at the police station before they could take the babies’ remains.
Commenting on the matter on Ukhozi FM, KZN Health head of department Sandile Tshabalala said they’re still going to investigate the matter. He said according to protocol, a foetus has to weigh 500g and above for the family to take it home.
The publication tried getting a comment from KZN health via email, but there was no response. The reporter also tried getting hold of the spokesman, Ntokozo Maphisa, but his phone rang unanswered.
