The inquest into the Life Esidimeni tragedy has been postponed after former head of mental health in the Gauteng provincial department Dr Makgabo Manamela, who was expected to give evidence, fell ill.

Adv Russel Sibara for Manamela told the inquest that his client became ill as they were preparing evidence on Monday evening.

She is expected to give details on how the patients were transferred to ill-equipped non-governmental organisations around Gauteng in 2016.
