Bettie Jacobs, 75, Mesothelioma.

“Because of the mill there was a lot of asbestos dust in Prieska. I never worked at the mine but we walked past the mill when we went to the river. The health inspector, Mr. Cilliers used to take dust samples from my porch, because the wind blew a lot of dust in the direction of my house. According to the doctor, I’ve lived in Prieska too long. Mietjie helps me in the house. She must help me to dress, because I get too tired to do it myself. I don’t hate Cape, but I feel there is a lot they can do for the people.”
