Moyo gave birth at the Yusuf Dadoo hospital in Krugersdorp to a baby weighing 4kg. Despite complaining of pain and excessive bleeding, she alleged that the medical staff in the maternity ward did not pay attention to her. They just ignored her as if they don't see or hear her groaning in agony. Luyanda’s cousin, Gibson Ndethi, said that the lady was so neglected to the point of being the last patient in the ward. Nurses found Luyanda dead hours after giving birth.
