In 2015, Mahlangu announced her department’s decision to terminate its contract with private hospital group Life Healthcare and its Life Esidimeni psychiatric facilities to save money, as the department was paying R320 per day per patient to Life Esidimeni. The bulk of state-subsidised patients would be moved to the care of cheaper community-based organisations. Mahlangu encountered huge public opposition, but went ahead with her decision. Experts, families and activists warned that the organisations could not provide the high-level care most Life Esidimeni patients needed. On 13 September 2016, in what later became known as the Life Healthcare Esidimeni Scandal, Mahlangu disclosed during an oral reply to questions from Jack Bloom, that 36 psychiatric patients that were transferred from Life Healthcare Esidimeni earlier in 2016 had died while in the care of the NGOs. This prompted the Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi to request the health ombudsman Professor Malegapuru W Makgoba to investigate the deaths two days after the disclosure by Mahlangu. A report requested by the Minister of Health was finally released on 1 February 2017, after it was delayed by Mahlangu who wanted time to peruse the document, as well as an extension of time to provide feedback. The report concluded that many more than 36 patients had died and recommended that Mahlangu's suitability as MEC be reconsidered.
