Limpopo health MEC Phophi Ramathuba says the department has launched an investigation after a frustrated mother was seen on video shouting at a nurse at Maake Clinic in Tzaneen for allegedly refusing to help her sick child.

Ramathuba, who visited the hospital after the video went viral, said the provincial health department has launched an investigation into the matter.“It is really uncalled for. We are ashamed of the video and about what happened. We met the nurse and listened to her side of the story, and reprimanded her.”The pair were seen holding hands and explaining their sides of the story before the nurse apologised to the mother.

“The MEC is here to broker peace between the two parties.
