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.
