The Democratic Nursing Organisation has condemned the gruesome killing of a female nurse in Kwa Zulu Natal.

DENOSA Provincial Secretary Cassim Lekhoathi said it is alleged that she was encountered by people who appeared to have been planned to kill her.

Lekhoathi appealed to community members to assist law enforcement agencies in bringing these perpetrators to book.

No arrests yet been made.

Lekhoathi said we are shocked and saddened by this callous and inhumane act.

Lekhoathi said What is even worse is that it has come at a time when we’re engaged with creating a better environment for women, through the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children.

Lekhoathi said his loss affects us greatly, as we are determined to ensure that every corner of the country has a qualified health worker, providing the best care possible.

Lekhoathi said Even though this incident happened outside the premises of the institution, the nurse died in her uniform, after serving the community.

 

“We therefore offer our deepest condolences to the family and friends and hope that the perpetrator will be apprehended and subjected to the full might of the law Lekhoathi added.
