An enquiry led by Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke found that government officials had acted in breach of the law and the Constitution.

The Acting Director of Public Prosecutions – Pretoria, Advocate George Baloyi, has decided that a formal and joint inquest into all deaths related to the Esidimeni tragedy be held in the High Court of Pretoria before a judge.

This “was established following recommendations by the Health Ombudsman after compiling a report called ‘The Ombud’s report’ detailing findings into a probe to establish the circumstances surrounding the deaths of mentally ill patients that were moved from Life Esidimeni Healthcare Facility to various Non-Government Organisations in Gauteng”.

“Led by a very senior advocate, they devoted most of their attention to a very protracted investigation, converting all 144 enquiry dockets into one docket, guiding investigations and monitoring progress on further documentation/statements that had to be obtained.
