Swazi boy might receive transplant after marriage claim with Big Brother star
FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:
In response to an article published in today’s Swazi Observer (http://www.observer.org.sz/main.php?id=41638§ion=main) in which the Swaziland authorities denied all allegations made in the media statement released yesterday by Marang House, we wish to inform the media of the following:
Marang House challenges the Swaziland Minister of Health, Njabulo Mabuza, and the Deputy Director of Health, Dr Vusi Magagula, to confirm in writing that they will pay for Muzi’s transplant in April 2008, when there is money available in the Phalala Fund.
“Dr. Magagula claims in the article that they never refused to pay for Muzi’s transplant and we therefore don’t anticipate that it would be a problem for them to send us a signed letter by the end of this week, confirming that they will pay for the transplant. I hope they send it to all the media as well to show their good intentions” says Pieter Ernst Jr, Executive Director of Marang House.
Marang House released a media statement yesterday in which we claimed that Big Brother Africa star Lerato Sengadi was prepared to marry the chronically ill Muzi to have him receive South African citizenship. This was in order for Muzi (8) to receive a kidney transplant. Lerato is still prepared to go all the way on this should this save Muzi’s life. We would like to refer media to yesterday’s press release for more information on Muzi’s sad and challenging situation (http://www.link2media.co.za/PrView.cfm?id=2475131).
“I also would like to emphasize that Muzi has been in South Africa since 2006. Without Marang House, Muzi would have had to stay in hospital permanently even though he only needs dialysis three times a week. The Swaziland government would have been liable for paying for an expensive hospital bed or the child would have had to sleep in the hallways. In that regard, Marang House and its sponsors have saved the Swaziland government a tremendous amount of money”, adds Pieter Ernst Jr.
We invite the Swaziland authorities to in future send their children to Marang House immediately. “I welcome a good chat with the Swaziland authorities to improve the situation of their seriously ill children” says Pieter Ernst Jr.
We further urge all media to follow this story. Muzi has suffered enough and dire need of his transplant. We need your help!
