The Pretoria High Court is expected to deliver its findings in the Life Esidimeni inquest tomorrow. A total of 144 mental health patients died after being moved to ill-equipped and unlicensed NGOs and community care facilities.

DA Gauteng legislature member Jack Bloom hopes the inquest hands down a murder and attempted murder judgment to those responsible.
