DURBAN - The EFF in KwaZulu-Natal says Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane must take full responsibility for the death of intern doctor Alulutho Mazwi.
Mazwi collapsed and died while on duty at Prince Mshiyeni Hospital after allegedly being forced to work despite saying he was unwell.
His death has ignited national outrage and put the working conditions junior doctors endure in the public healthcare system in focus.
