Stealing from the disabled | Carte Blanche | M-Net

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝟮 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯.
In December 2015, investigative journalist, Sabelo Skiti, stumbled upon a story about a well-known lawyer in the Eastern Cape claiming to be fighting the good fight for children born with disabilities in the province’s poorer communities. He was helping them take the Department of Health to court for medical negligence with the multi-million-rand pay-outs offering a chance of a better life. Trouble was the lawyer was stealing the money meant for the mostly semi-literate mothers of children living with cerebral palsy. Greedy and unrepentant, he exploited their desperation without ever intending for them to see a cent of their pay-outs. Skiti’s story prompted the Special Investigating Unit to take a closer look and yet, seven years later, the rogue lawyer continues to slither from their clutches. Carte Blanche investigates.

    It is so unbelievably DUMB of the STATE to invest money in payouts rather than PREVENTION by employing more health care workers. This would enable better CARE for the mothers and Babies. How can they not see this as a way forward? These millions would give care workers and medical staff the possibility to be in a position to help these moms.

I suspect that the suspect also had corrupt officials representing the state that concluded deals with him that ended in gross oversettlements and probably huge illegal kickbacks as well. Shouldn't be too difficult to establish who reached those settlements with him .
