Welcome to Episode 52 of the official Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime podcast.
About this episode:
She told every mother who asked: "With over 2,000 babies delivered ... not one baby has ever been hurt." She was lying.
And she had been lying for a very long time.
This is the full story of Yolande Maritz Fouchee - owner of You and Me Midwife-led Maternity Care in Pretoria East, and the subject of a six-year investigation by Carte Blanche that exposed one of the most sustained patterns of medical harm ever documented in South African private midwifery.
The harm didn't begin in 2019 though. And this is the full story of what is now known about the disturbing and extensive horrific actions of Yolandi Fouchee.
