Midwife to face prosecution

Former Pretoria midwife Yolande Maritz, who is alleged to have caused multiple deaths and disabilities, will finally face prosecution next month.

The delicensed midwife has been accused of allegedly administering medication to pregnant women which was suspected of causing birth complications.

Barry Bateman, communications manager for AfriForum's private prosecution unit, said Maritz had been summoned to appear in court on 24 July on assault charges.

"Carien Möller and Alysia von Kloëg are represented by AfriForum's private prosecution unit, which has been pressuring the NPA [National Prosecuting Authority] to enrol the case.

"For a year and a half, the unit committed itself to supporting Carien and Alysia in their quest for justice and to ensure Maritz is held responsible for her conduct."

Bateman said Möller and Von Kloëg filed criminal complaints in 2020 and 2022, respectively.
