Who sets the agenda for the society if not the leaders?

Gun violence in the United States is tied to the rights Americans have to bear arms. most countries prohibit their citizens from bearing arms, so America is a bad example to use as evidence against quality education.

The GDP of Illinois is $875 million, with a population of about 13 million people, so people they are very productive.

Take a look.

Make of it what you will.

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.”

South Africa offers free medical care at government facilities to everyone. If you're working it's negligible fees like 2 dollars.

Yes it was a democractic system of government with all democractic and representative institutions existing within the system. it simply excluded you bunch from that democratic system because it did not regard you as true citizens of the state.

American did not give voting rights to blacks and woman until the 50's and 60's. What form of government did they practice prior to this.

Dimwitt!
You argue very intelligently...kudos

There is a wave of anti foreigner sentiment that is sweeping the country at present especially amongst the poor and a lower working class which is infecting a good number of Saffers, however in general The average SA is not xenophobic.

It is not complex. Many countries around the world adhere to this same stance of equal access to health care which is considered a human right however many of them have figured out how to charge the uninsured or track them to make sure there is not an abuse of the system.

Some have figured out how to fund these circumstances by devising ways to tax illegals or immigrants to supplement the costs of health care.

Your government is just clueless and have a lot of semi illiterates running ministries and so they pander to the public so they look as if they know what they are doing.

She is right, but she could have addressed it professionally and with other government stakeholders.

If you haven't travelled the length and breath of South Africa, then keep quiet.

Every sector and facilities in South Africa has been stretched by foreigners, mostly Zimbabweans.

How can you be a citizen of a country and cannot even enjoy anything because someone feels entitled to it.

South Africa is beautiful, fun and developed to a great extent. However, illegal immigrants are making life harder for the citizens.
well said. Zims have bastardize south Africa system.. They have infiltrated almost everything with thier cheap labor, fraudulent e-hailing license etc.. When south Africans complain alot,it's Zimbabweans they are mostly referring to.

Well your government refuses to call out the Zim government so what do you expect. Every unstable country that exists around you will have its citizens bleed into the economy of the neighbouring country especially if that economy is doing better i.e. White monopoly controlled capitalist state. That's simple mathematics. Sending them back to their countries is a short term solution that will yield short term gains.

They will find a way back if you like Donald trump build a 100 foot wall across the entirety of the SA border.

South Africans are wierd. I can't understand how their reasoning is wired.

These illegal aliens don't pay taxes? They don't add to the south African economy?

With time, then the foreigners leave, SA will be economically bankrupt. I pray that day happens.

Imagine the xenophobic nation. When countries in Europe are looking for immigrants...
well said Bro. They keep shouting foreigners have taken thier jobs,foreigners have taken thier women,foreigners have done these and that.. Take away foreigners from South Africa and give south Africa 6months and watch how the economy of sa turns to dust.

I don't think you have heard about medical tourism before. If you have or know how much that fetches the government, you won't be saying this
Well, my comment brached off of medial tourism. This is the reason why I targeted the real problem.

It's a huge income vessel but it has spills all over the place. When the situation got intense, all had to ban flights from Russia, didn't they?

Who considered medical tourism or investment after the Russian attack? Moscow used to be a hot-spot for clients.
