Machpela was suffering from major depression and dementia. Nevertheless‚ in June last year she was moved from a Life Esidimeni healthcare centre to an NGO‚ Precious Angels.
She was moved for the pitiful saving of R208 a day. Machpela died on August 15‚ one of the 94 victims of the department’s policy identified so far.
