I think the difference is that politicians pay handsomely to be in SA hospitals. Illegal immigrants don't.

You will feel the same way if you go to any Teaching Hospital and there are no available beds because (eg Camerounians) are crossing over illegally to get free medical care. Your pregnant mothers or wives are turned away because illegal immigrant patients have taken over and you the citizens are left hanging. Stop viewing issues from the beggarly spirits that have eaten away Nigerian brains.

Don't be hypocrites!

What is the job of our political leaders? To create an environment where all can prosper and live safely. If the citizens are not prospering, the blame squarely lies on the ineptitude of the leaders.

Your sort of thinking is leading Nigeria to failed state status

Yeah.

@bolded - so you agree there are too many foreigners in SA?


Common. Anyone living in your country pays taxes. If they work for companies which most of them do, they pay income taxes. They also pay indirect taxes through purchases of good already taxed.

I don't agree there are too many foreigners. They are actually not enough. Countries are realising that you need foreigners to grow your economy but south Africans are going the wrong direction. They loveeeee to think their problems are by foreigners which is very wierd reasoning.

Please see this discussion and hear how other people feel about south Africans;

An average South African black hates other Africans with intense passion.




Agreed, love for country comes first but even such love must have a humane face in dealing with others.




They've forgotten too soon how the rest of the continent took the centre stage in the struggle against the shackles of the apartheid regime leading to majority rule.




Now they callously turn on their fellow non South African blacks.





Ingratitude cannot be better defined!

80% of FREE births in some hospitals are for foreigners while South Africans can't get beds, and you say that ok and South Africans should shut up?

You're sick.


False statistics. No hospital in SA allocates 80% of its beds for illegal foreigners and please use the right terminology "illegal foreign nationals."

Show us the statistics and stop trumping up sentiments by stating rubbish information to make a point.

So, they are wicked? They try to take care of their own citizens by providing them with health care, citizens of other countries who couldnt hold their own leaders accountable decide to run into SA to benefit what SA citizens supposed to benefit. That is not right.
These citizens should go and hold their own leaders accountable.

Like Nigerians will intentionally elect a leader who cant fix the country due to nepotism and tribalism, then, Nigerians will now run away to other countries to be causing problems and over burdening the economy of those countries. Make no sense.

TMK south my friend, it’s been a while. SA is one poor country in reality. It’s beautiful no lies, even tho there are slums everywhere..

Running a government doesn’t mean you’re running the country. Sometimes people who run the country are powerful than the government..

The whites are running the country, while blacks are running the government..

And please, the only Nigerians using SA health care are the ones living in SA. And it’s not for free, they’re paying for it,

But Nigerians going to SA for medical treatment? Nope!

Is it the whites building the roads, power, hospitals for the past 30 years?

Was it the whites the built the awesome world class infrastructure for the 2010 world cup?

You're an oil rich country, nothing stops you from outsourcing skills like other oil rich countries - but you don't. Result is you're the most pathetic major oil rich country in the world.

Don't hate SA's black government for being smart enough to utilize all the man and brain power it's got from its rainbow nation.

There is no question that there is an illegal foreign national issue in SA however the failure is on your government to find a way to solce the problem because your liberation government is clueless.

The MEC stated that it was necessary to have illegal foreign nationals pay for services they receive when they visit hospital as a determent. This is fair or makes common sense but as usual her delivery right in front of a sick patient is distasteful, childish, fronting, undiplomatic and pandering to the populace as your people are apt at doing.

A video of Limpopo province's health MEC (minister) Dr Phophi Ramathuba lashing out at a Zimbabwean patient at a government hospital has sparked an outcry in South Africa.

The MEC is heard telling the patient that migrants are to blame for her department's stretched budget.

Dr Angelique Coetzee, a Solidarity Doctors Network board member, said the MEC was out of line.

“This patient is a victim of the drama between the two countries. Even if they cross the border illegally to get health services, it’s not their fault. She [the MEC] wasn’t supposed to embarrass her like that in front of people.

“It was unethical, unprofessional and out of line. She should have addressed that at a different level,” Coetzee said.


She added that the constitution makes it compulsory for anyone to receive emergency medical attention.

Dr Mike Ramothwala, from the Limpopo department of health, endorsed the MEC's statements, saying: “The last statistics showed that 80% of women giving birth at Musina hospital are illegal Zimbabweans and SA women sometimes didn’t find beds to give birth on. We are trying to fix our healthcare system but we can never do it unless what our MEC is saying is addressed.”

A large number of illegals are from the SADC regions because of the economy of the country and any economic hub within a region will experience this inflow of migrants. This is a global phenomena and not without precedence so SA' government should stop acting like they are cluess.

The major issue is that there is massive incompetence in the ANC government in terms of managing and delivering services to its citizens who are rightfully entitled to these services and the story is spun so the concentration is on illegal foreign nationals as the sole enemy of the system because they are easy target.
