A South African drug mule doing time in Mauritius died earlier this month and another from Cape Town is desperately ill.
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.
