“We don’t get the cooperation of the police and the government morgue and we don’t know if it’s incompetence, negligence or what. When we went to see the pathology services in Germiston earlier in the week, we discovered that they did not do an autopsy and they pointed the finger at the police. The police also pointed the finger at pathology services.
“An autopsy must be done and after that there must be DNA tests because when we got to the morgue we couldn’t identify his body as a family. We were unable to identify his body due to the nature of the accident. “
Tsela added that the family cannot go ahead and make funeral arrangements before having the autopsy and DNA results.
“The only thing left is the DNA and post mortem results because they will help us find closure as a family. They will also help us inform the public about funeral arrangements. As it is, we can’t talk about funeral arrangements without autopsy and DNA results.
“Around noon on Friday, we got a call from the investigating officer who told us that post-mortem and DNA tests had been done and that we were waiting for those results. This was only on Friday and you have to remember that the accident happened on Sunday. This means that for the whole week ‚someone did not take responsibility until yesterday.
“Our fear as a family is that it could go a long time without results due to someone somewhere not taking responsibility for doing their job. We have no idea when the DNA and autopsy results will be available to us as a family. As you can imagine, the last few days have been extremely difficult for the family. “
It is unclear if Madisha was driving the car as one person was thrown out while the other, who has yet to be identified, was trapped inside the burning car.
Gauteng police spokesman Brig Mathapelo Peters told TimesLIVE on Saturday morning that the police have contacted Madisha’s family, updating them on the progress of the DNA tests.
“SAPS is not free to give updates on investigations / cases to third parties, including the media,” he said.
“However, we can confirm that the investigating officer assigned to the case is following the proper processes and procedures to complete the DNA test, and that he has been in contact with the family of the deceased, updating the family on the progress of this case.”
