The parties had agreed to a R500 000 settlement after Priscilla Jantjies had been left unable to walk. The health department said it was a “gratuitous offer’’, but Jantjies’ husband had not signed the offer before his death in 2017.

Cape Town - What was supposed to be a normal tooth extraction for Priscilla Tobeka Jantjies at the Cecilia Makiwane Hospital in 2002, turned out to be a nightmare, which has left her unable to walk.

At first, Jantjies said, they could not find the doctor who extracted her tooth. “The doctor’s name was only revealed after we went to report the matter in Pretoria. “I cannot walk on my own. I am bed-ridden. I don’t have money for transport to go to the provincial offices in Bhisho,” added Janjties. “The family did not accept these findings and an independent specialist was appointed to re-examine the investigation; her own independent opinion arrived at similar conclusions as those of the internal probe.
