Eastern Cape health MEC Ntandokazi Capa expressed her condolences to the bereaved families. “We lost a committed member in the call of duty. He leaves us at a time when we need his services,” Capa lamented. She went on to indicate: “A patient who comes to our health facility does so in the hope of being healed and not to die. It's very unfortunate that we lost a patient in this manner.” Capa also wished the surviving EMS staff a speedy recovery.
