The family of Pumla Iroegbu from Khayelitsha fear they will never see her again, because she is imprisoned on the island and very ill.
33 year old Iroegbu is serving a 14-year jail term for trafficking 1kg of heroin into Mauritius from South Africa.
Iroegbu is allegedly HIV-positive and had been ill on and off since 2007.
Her family is pleading with the Department of International Relations and Co-operation to move her to a South African prison.
