On the live recording video Dr Phophi she can be heard questioning security who were on duty how they refused a sick woman and her toddler to enter the premises.

The security can be heard claiming that there was no electricity. But, Dr Ramathuba produced a picture that was sent to her with lights-on to prove that the security is lying to her.

It is alleged that Securities refused to help a dying woman who was accompanied to clinic by her toddler. The woman didn’t have airtime to call for ambulance. So she took it upon herself to walk to clinic though she was in pain.

Upon arrival at the clinic, she was refused to enter the clinic premises. Night shift Nurse was in the clinic room with her boyfriend. She refused to come out to assist the patient and gave orders that the woman must not be allowed to enter the clinic.
