Manzini said they had agreed that the patients would not be transferred at this time.

 

"That was one of the things we wanted to look at, whether we can transfer them so that they can be closer to their families, but we have agreed to let them get the treatment here. And, also, as far as the issue of postmortem, we are working together with them so that we can be able to assist the families for the purpose of the burial working with the organisation of the African National Congress."
