Scenario Tinkie has a history of schizophrenia for which she has been receiving
outpatient care for the past few years. Unbeknown to her husband, Siyabonga, Tinkie
stopped taking her schizophrenia medication a while ago. One day after work,
Siyabonga arrives home only to discover Tinkie covered in blood, disoriented and
mumbling incoherently. It transpires that she cut herself with razor blades as an act of
self-mutilation. Siyabonga fears for her safety and takes her to Sunshine Psychiatric
Hospital for admission and treatment. With them in the car is Lebohang, their 15-year-
old son who helps to calm, comfort and safeguard his mom. Tinkie is admitted to
Sunshine where it comes to light that she had also swallowed the razor blades. The
razor blades need to be removed surgically as a matter of urgency. Siyabonga and
Lebohang are obviously emotionally distraught. They return home but are involved in a
terrible car accident. Siyabonga dies instantly and Lebohang is seriously injured and
unconscious.
Answer the following questions:
(a) Set out and apply the legislative provisions that made it possible for Tinkie to be
admitted to Sunshine despite her mentally confused state and the absence of her
consent.
(b) Fortunately, Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital has a surgical ward. Dr Blade, the
surgeon on duty, recommends the surgical removal of the razor blades that Tinkie had
swallowed. The admissions clerk at Sunshine is unsure whether Tinkie could grant
consent or whether authorisation should be sought from someone else. Advise her on
the relevant legislative/regulatory provisions.
(c) Lebohang needs to undergo surgery but is obviously in no state to grant consent.
Due to its urgency, there is simply not enough time to approach a court for authorisation
