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

terrible car accident. Siyabonga dies instantly and Lebohang is
seriously injured and unconscious. Answer the following

made it possible for Tinkie to be admitted to Sunshine despite
her mentally confused state and the absence of her consent. (b)

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
