The taxi driver had reportedly spent the night at a local tavern. Limpopo’s Health MEC has vowed action after a nurse was killed on her way to work at Elim Hospital after an allegedly drunk minibus taxi driver crashed into her bakkie.
Dr. Phophi Ramathuba said Susan Mulaudi died at the scene of the crash on 26 December, the Day of Goodwill public holiday.
The MEC said “we will make sure justice is served in this case.”
“People must be arrested, not only did they undermine curfew regulations but their arrogance and stubbornness have robbed us of a lifesaver.”
It’s understood that the taxi driver, aged 26, together with four other occupants, spent the whole night drinking at a tavern in Hamasakona Village.
She said the taxi is from Gauteng and was probably on their way back home.
“He met a hardworking, responsible, and caring citizen on her way to preserve and save lives on a holiday, crashing into her vehicle and killing her.”
INFURIATED
The MEC visited the hospital to offer support to Malaudzi’s colleagues.
“I am angry. I cannot lose a professional nurse during the period when I need them most.”
“People came back from Gauteng and instead of spending time with their family at home they went on a drinking spree the entire night and now they have taken a life of a valuable person.”
Ramathuba vowed that the taxi driver will be brought to book.
Mulaudzi is survived by her husband, a radiographer also Elim Hospital, and two children.
