IOL News reports that a man who was a patient has been arrested in Limpopo after he allegedly assaulted a nurse at Malamulele Hospital.
Limpopo health spokesperson Kapudi Moagi said that in the early hours of Monday morning, the patient who had been admitted to the male ward after being involved in an accident, refused treatment. “During this time, he assaulted a nurse, claiming his belongings were missing,” said Moagi. Limpopo MEC for Health, Dieketseng Mashego, welcomed the quick arrest of the alleged assailant and said: “We must ensure the safety of our healthcare workers. Violence against them will not be tolerated. I appreciate the prompt action taken by SAPS in this situation.” Last month it was reported that Fannie Malope Seribishane, the 57-year-old man accused of brutally killing a nurse, was set to undergo trial in the High Court in Limpopo. On 23 October 2024 at about 5pm, the nurse was murdered while she was on her way to work at Lebowakgomo Hospital. The woman succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained next to the gate of the medical facility.
