After several hours of discussions behind closed doors, the DA said it was informed by the SAPS that an inquiry will be launched into death of more then 300 cancer patients.
Spokesperson, Joe Maila has told Newswatch Minister Aaron Motsoaledi will be investigating the matter further.
"He will also answer to the charges and it will be known that it is one of the political games the DA is playing. After this matter was brought to his attention, the minister has assembled a team of people to go to KZN and find out what is going on," he says.
