IOL News reports that the Democratic Nursing Union of SA (Denosa) in Limpopo has called on police to probe the fatal shooting of a Lebowakgomo Hospital nurse, who was killed outside the gate of the hospital on Tuesday night.
Limpopo Department of Health spokesperson Kapudi Moagi said the nurse was shot and killed a few metres from the gate of the hospital after getting out of a taxi on her way to work at the hospital. Moagi identified the nurse as Mumsy Seribishane, 52, who was working as an enrolled nursing assistant in the female surgical ward in the hospital. He said the perpetrator allegedly approached her and shot her on the spot. Denosa’s Lesiba Monyaki reacted: “Denosa is shattered, devastated and saddened by these barbaric acts. This country, and Limpopo in particular, cannot afford to lose a nurse during these critical moments of shortage of staff and increased demand for quality health care.” He called on the police to investigate the motive behind the killing and bring the perpetrator to justice. Meanwhile, the MEC of Health in Limpopo, Dieketseng Mashego, expressed outrage and sadness over the tragic shooting of the nurse.
