She said she went to the hospital to find her husband's body covered.

“When I arrived [at the hospital] they had covered him with something white that had a zip,” she said in the video. 

Babes said she told the hospital staff that her husband was struggling to breathe because of what he was covered in. 

“I said to them ‘My man can’t breathe,’ they unzipped the bag. I was there, feeling like I was losing my mind. My sister was there, Icebolethu Funerals was also there."

She adds how she slept on her husband's chest for two hours. 

"I slept for two hours ... For two hours I lay on his chest,"  she said. 

Babes says she was in a bad state of mind following her husband's death. 

"After two hours, they took him. I left with them and I kept telling them ‘You’re hurting him’. I was not in the right state of mind. I kept looking for cameras, thinking it was all just a prank,” she said.
