The Eastern Cape Department of Health has suspended a 39-year-old clinical associate after a female patient claimed that he had attacked and raped her in a consultation room at Mount Ayliff Hospital.
In some African cultures, it is believed that ancestors visit their living relatives in the form of bees or water monitor lizards, often to warn the family to perform the correct traditional rituals.
An Eastern Cape family is devastated by the death of one of their ralatives last month after he was attacked by a swarm of bees he believed to be his ancestors.
