Durban - Rani Nadesan was admitted to hospital because she had sores on her leg. But, given the treatment she received, she begged for a discharge. When she eventually returned home, her wound was infested with maggots.
More than 10 years ago, Nadesan, 55, was diagnosed with osteoarthritis. Over the years, it became more difficult for her to walk. Her legs would often swell and she needed ongoing treatment.
Nadesan is 55 and lives in Canelands with her family. Her husband works as a driver on a part-time basis and they have three children. Her sons, 36 and 26, have left home while her teenage daughter lives with her. So too does her mother and sister, both of whom, help care for her.
