Audrey van Schalkwyk, 54, Asbestosis.

“I was 12 when I started helping my parents work asbestos at Koegas. Now asbestos will be my end. For the past 23 years I’ve worked at the hospital and I’ve seen many people end up in the mortuary. Little did I know that I would also end up here because of asbestos. My father died in 1993 because of the dust and my mother is also suffering because of it. We are five children and three of us are also have it. I wish Cape can see how our people are suffering.”
