Durban - Prison authorities defied a court order and refused to transfer an awaiting trial prisoner, who had been unconscious for nearly three weeks, from a public hospital to a private one until they were paid R145000 for a guard.
A department official allegedly told hospital management and the prisoner’s mother, Vimlesh, that he had a court order which supported this stance. Her legal representatives, from Roy Singh Attorneys, said State prosecutor Reenai Ramouthar, who was handling the matter where Rajbansi faced fraud and theft charges, had also not been informed about his health.
At St Augustines, staff were instructed by Correctional Services that a guard would be placed outside Rajbansi’s ward and that visitors woud not be allowed without their permission.
Is he going to pay that private hospital bill? 🤔
Who is paying for the private hospital?
I see with my little eyes a heavy litigation suit following.. 😆😆😆Like these departments like going Rouge knowing that the person that will be sued is the state.. They won't pay anything
Private security companies charge in the region of R33 000 a month for 24 hour guarding - so R145 000 is exorbitant and is proof of an inflated tender or extortion or both😡 this works out to R2 416.00 per day compared to the private rate of around R550 per day
