An accused woman appearing in the Wynberg Magistrates Court has told the court that she is not receiving necessary medical treatment while held at Pollsmoor Maximum Security Prison in Cape Town.
The complaint was made during proceedings in a high-profile case linked to a deadly courthouse shooting last year.
According to the court record, Shireen Matthews, one of five suspects charged in connection with the fatal shooting of Vrygrond taxi operator Dingalomoya Chintso in April 2025, has been diagnosed with a tumour but has allegedly not received adequate medical attention since her arrest.
