City of Johannesburg’s Honest Khumalo – who is responsible for the Pioneer Park Old Age Home – said the Johannesburg hospital (Charlotte Maxeke) contacted him to ask when Jones would be allowed to come home.
Khumalo said he too was a bit confused as the last information he had received was that placement investigations for Jones were ongoing.

He said the hospital (Charlotte Maxeke) said they had discharged Jones who was now apparently wheelchair-bound.
Khumalo said the old age home (Pioneer Park) would be a challenge as the home was not wheelchair friendly.
Charlotte Maxeke hospital was contacted to find out more information about Jones’ situation without any success.
More attempts are being made to find out what steps will be taken regarding Jones.
