Nkululeko was due to have his two tissue expanders removed on 27th May 2010 but then spent three days in hospital for no purpose. Only when we went to visit him, did we find that he had had no surgery at all and that he should return the following week.

Charlotte Maxeke Hospital might have been focusing on other matters though, as six babies had died from diarrhoea around that time and MEC and Ministerial interest in the quality of hospital care (for babies) was high.

The waste of money by having a child in for days, who was not having surgery, is an issue. Also of concern is the lack of communication with his guardians about his progress.





A little Kimberley girl survived electrocution in January 2009, but lost two fingers and the other two fingers and thumb are contracted and immobile.

Lianne Grond survived electrocution when Eskom was tardy in repairing fallen power lines in the Kimberley area of South Africa. She lost two fingers though and has had others contracted into a position where she cannot use them at all.

Here she is blowing bubbles while on a picnic with the other burned children at Emmarentia Dam, Johannesburg, in late 2009.
