Zweli Mkhize Placed On Special Leave While Digital Vibes Corruption is Investigated by Special Investigation Unit!

Posted on Leave a comment

The South African Minister of Health has been placed on special leave until further notice by Cyril Ramaphosa, while the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) investigates allegations of corruption with Digital Vibes. Zweli Mkhize claimed he asked for time from his post while the investigation was ongoing, and asked to be temporarily replaced so he could fight the allegations of corruption against him, but no one believes it was voluntary.

“We did not discuss the issue of resignation. We discussed the issue of special leave pending the SIU report,” Mkhize said on Tuesday after speaking with Cyril. Mkhize is being investigated by the SIU over a contract awarded by his department to a company called Digital Vibes, which is managed by his former personal assistant, Tahera Mather, and former secretary, Naadhira Mitha.

The contract was awarded in 2019 for work on the National Health Insurance in South Africa, and the agreement was recently extended for activities

ANC Government’s National Health Insurance Being Pushed Through for 2022

Posted on Leave a comment

The Council on Medical Schemes says the ANC government’s plan to start a National Health Insurance (NHI) is well underway, and the plan has already been advanced to implement phase 3 of the program next year.

The Medical Schemes Board says the 2021-2022 year’s development of the Plan is on track for Phase 3 which will include a mandated prepaid system of the new scheme, which will also include contracts from accredited private hospitals and specialist services. This means that the finalization and implementation of the National Health Insurance Act will then take effect.

The proposed bill was already adopted and approved by Cabinet in 2019 and presented to the parliamentary health committee. After that, it was apparently subjected to the public “consultation” process and scheduled to be debated in parliament, and then announced by the president of the country. It is proposed to be finalized in 2022.

How Covid19 Kills Innocent People Who DON’T Have Covid19! Kidney Patient Neglected & Left to Die in Tshepong State Hospital!

Posted on Leave a comment

Collateral Damage: Did Covid restrictions let a man literally starve to a lonely death, in yet another horror story from a state hospital, preventing his family from noticing and helping him? Allowed to die from hunger and dehydration in Tshepong hospital in Klerksdorp? By now everyone should be aware of what death traps SA state hospitals have become, as 58 year old Andre Smit’s family found out when Andre died in hospital on 17 February 2021, after the hospital inexplicably refused him kidney dialysis treatment. Due to Covid the family were barred from helping him themselves and they are convinced he developed kidney failure because of dehydration, from neglect, hunger and thirst in the Tshepong hospital.

The facts in the matter supports their claim as Andre was unable to fend for himself during the entire time, because he suffered from dementia. He was initially taken up in the Tshepong hospital in Klerksdorp on 4 February after he had suffered an epilep

#COVIDMANIA, a Politicized Flu, Weaponized by Greedy Powermongers into a Great Reset Which Will Kill More Than Covid19 Itself!

Posted on Leave a comment

NUMBERS DON’T LIE: Despite all the hype and Covid-19 mania peddled by mainstream media and money grabbing politicians, far more people will and are still dying from alcohol and tobacco use, HIV/AIDS, Cancer, Tuberculosis, Malaria, etc. Shockingly, figures have revealed that lockdown will indeed take more lives than it saves! Truth is the ANC and other globalist liberal governments see Covid-19 as an opportunity not only to line their pockets, but also to hammer through ideological political social engineering projects in the so called Great Reset. For all their claims about saving lives, that really is the last thing on their minds, Socialism is…

A health time bomb is ticking in South Africa, medical experts have told Rapport newspaper, claiming that a “catastrophic” decline in the diagnosis and treatment of killer diseases like tuberculosis (TB), cancer and HIV/Aids as a result of the lockdown, and the Covid-19 focus can lead to a sharp

Despite 3 Months Warning & Emergency Powers Plus Billions at its Disposal, ANC Already Totally Failing Fight Against CCP-Virus! 12 Day Delay in ANC Government Covid19 Tests!

Posted on Leave a comment

The much vaunted ANC government Covid-19 testing capacity has crashed, as an enormous backlog in CCP-virus tests has developed at the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS), resulting in a waiting period of between 10-12 days for a test to be concluded, which makes testing pointless, as the genetic material of the virus breaks down after 72 hours! In contrast, private laboratories, which do just over half the CCP-virus tests in the country, just take a day to complete such a test.

The long waiting period from the National Labs is wreaking havoc and threatens to totally derail the fight against the CCP-virus pandemic and render the massive sacrifices South Africans were forced to make, during the drawn out and over regulated lockdown, worthless, driving many people into bankruptcy and hunger unnecessarily. According to the Rapport newspaper a nursing expert says that if a patient in a hospital can’t be tested speedily, the patient has to be treated as if CCP-virus

National Health Insurance: Medical specialists and doctors threaten to flee overseas

Posted on Leave a comment

The new National Health Insurance (NHI) that the ANC-regime wants to implement is facing fierce opposition from doctors and medical professionals in the Free State. These medics are currently threatening to go overseas, meanwhile, the Free State DA has also been involved in a fight with Montsent Tsiu, the MEC of Health in the province. The parties involved confirm that the NHI is going to become an unaffordable system that is doomed even before it is implemented.

The doctors support the principle of health care for all but reckon that the NHI is not a feasible system. It is believed that if doctors are first harmed by being prohibited from opening private practices and patients are forced upon them whom they must pay attention within 24 hours, they will simply walk.

According to reports from Network 24, Marietta Pittaway, DA MPW, accused Tsiu of sitting in the Free State Legislature for “prematurely” informing parliament that the Free State provincial government and

Misappropriation of R5.8 bil, Afriforum to lay charges – NHI violates constitution

Posted on Leave a comment

During a media conference held on 18 November 2019, AfriForum launched a comprehensive report on why the implementation of National Health Insurance (NHI) in South Africa will be unconstitutional. The report further explains why the impact study on which the NHI is based, is totally inadequate which means that the Bill should be set aside.

“According to the report, Section 27 of the Constitution only provides for access to healthcare. Nowhere does it indicate that the state is obliged to provide healthcare to everyone. In fact, if the government’s intervention hinders this access, it is unconstitutional. When one considers the current state of affairs in the department of health, the state most definitely doesn’t have the capacity to provide healthcare services to the whole country. It will therefore be unconstitutional for the state to effectively take control of the private health sector,” says Natasha Venter, AfriForum’s spokesperson for NHI.

Junk Status looms – Implementation of NHI will have disastrous consequences for SA economy

Posted on Leave a comment

AfriForum today sent a letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni and Minister of Health Zweli Mkhize warning the civil rights organization that the implementation of national health insurance (NHI) could eventually lead to the downgrading of the country’s credit rating to junk status .

This comes after the credit rating agency Moody’s recently downgraded South Africa’s credit rating from a stable to a negative outlook. The reason for this downgrade according to Mood is the bleak growth prospects and growing public debt. In its letter, AfriForum argues that unaffordable, ideological policies such as the NHI will lead to South Africa being downgraded to junk status, as the country simply cannot fund it.

“To continue with the implementation of the NHI will not only be disastrous for the South African economy; it will also inflate government debt to levels that will make it impossible to escape the downgrade to junk status in the foreseeabl

God Help us! No health care facility in Gauteng controlled by ANC regime could pass safety audit – Now the very same regime wants to enforce a National Health Insurance Plan across SA

Posted on Leave a comment

No healthcare facility in Gauteng was able to successfully pass a safety audit that complies with the Occupational Safety Act of SA (OHSA),according to a statement issued by DA Health spokesman Jack Bloom on Thursday. This means that all hospitals and clinics in Gauteng pose a safety risk to staff and patients.

It ranges from overcrowding to emergency departments, leaky roofs, non-functional air conditioning and non-standard kitchens.

This highlights how unprepared the state is for the planned National Health Insurance to be introduced.

Informed sources believe it is better not to go to the hospitals, as the risk of just being further affected or even die, has become too great.

“This information about the shock state of healthcare facilities is revealed by Gauteng Health MEC Bandile Masuku in a written response to questions in the Gauteng Legislature,” Bloom said.

The following facilities performed the worst:

Motsoaledi: We can’t wait to improve healthcare before implementing NHI

Posted on Leave a comment

Government does not believe it can wait until the healthcare system is improved before implementing national health insurance, Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has said.

The minister was speaking at a briefing at Tuynhuys, Parliament, where the report of the outcomes of the presidential health summit, held late last year, was released.

During his address on Tuesday, Motsoaledi said government would be taking significant steps towards implementing universal healthcare.

Last week, president Cyril Ramaphosa said that the National Health Insurance Bill would be tabled before Parliament this year.

NHI will ensure that South Africans can receive free health services at the point of care at both public and private quality-accredited healthcare service providers, Motsoaledi said.

NHI is a proposed state-run health financing system that aims to pool funds to provide access to quality health services for all South Africans regardless of thei
