MPUMALANGA Health MEC Sibongile Manana appeared before a SA Human Rights Commission investigative hearing on Friday to explain why a boy suffered brain damage during a routine operation. The MEC was subpoenaed with Dr Abdullah Lubego, who operated on the boy, to attend the hearing after being accused of negligence. Zweli Methule, who was six at the time of the surgery, suffered brain damage and paralysis in 1996 after being admitted to Themba Hospital to have his broken arm reset.
