Takalani Home for the Mentally Handicapped is struggling to make ends meet after the name of the organization has been implicated in the Life Esidimeni Affliction.
Judgement Gumede who is the executive director for Takalani said, “The sponsors are pulling out while the current ones are no longer interested in helping us.
“The only funds that we are relying on now are from the Social Development and the Health Department which are not enough to run the home; we have different patients with different needs.”
Takalani home is also battling to pay its employees, Gumede stated that the home is now under new management and they want to clear the name of the facility, Takalani has changed now and they have nothing to do with Life Esidimeni unless there is a transfer of patients.
Diepkloof Home is pleading to the community of Soweto to lend a helping hand because they are struggling financially and the new management is appealing to sponsors to not judge them by what occurred in Life Esidimeni tragedy.
