Former Gauteng Health Department deputy director, Nonceba Sennelo. is the latest witness to take the stand in the inquest which is looking into whether anyone can be held criminally liable for the deaths of over 140 mental health patients.
The Special Tribunal, in a judgment handed down on Monday morning, dismissed a third-party notice application brought forward by axed Health Department CFO Kabelo Lehloenya to involve the premier in her own legal challenges.
Kabelo Lehloenya was among the key signatories of the unlawful multi-million rand personal protective equipment (PPE) contracts, which were issued by the Gauteng government at the onset of the pandemic.
