#Listeriosis: Food safety is our shared responsibility: While some have chosen to see the funny side of the listeriosis outbreak, at least 180 people have died and more than 950 have taken ill. The victims include newborns, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems: the most vulnerable in society. Hardly a laughing matter. The outbreak has been linked so far to two major producers: Rainbow Chicken and Enterprise products (ranging from polony to the “luxury” wafer-thin hams sold by Woolies), which raises questions about food safety, who is policing it, and the quality of food consumed by millions of South Africans – mostly from poorer communities.

Mom bereft after death of her twins: Johannesburg – A woman who gave birth by herself in a maternity ward refuses to believe that her twins died immediately after birth, as the hospital claims, and she wants answers. Nompumelelo Sibiya, 28, is convinced that her children, born prematurely at six months’ gestation on May 19, 2016 at Mamelodi Hospital in Tshwane, are still alive, even though the nurses told her they had died. “The hospital never gave me my children, so that I could ascertain that they were dead,” a crying Sibiya said.
