Ngyamuthanda loMEC
She's right vele
ANC has gone too far with Corruption but I have kept quit , than us pretend to be loyal to South Africans at the expense of poor
Yes girl don't apologize
badedereni!!!
This is all ramaphosa strategy taking advantage of the fragile minds of our vulnerable SA who are lost in their own minds, Parties like ASA, PA also taking advantage. Soweto parliament, Dudula,we see you and you won't succeed a fake jewelery always wear off EFFis blessed madlozi
No need to apologize my MEC dipopla, Zimbabwean will never be south Africans, they must live, work and get health services in Zimbabwe
Zuma won’t see jail at all Americans they follow the law no one is above the law in US ANC give to us corrupt we have to swipe ANC off
❤️
Maybe it's high time ANC calls it's so called sister party to *hold free and fair elections *stop the abduction and torture of opposition supporters *implement electoral reforms Our fight against Zanu is an uphill battle as countries around us are Zanu friendly
Dr Phophi is us
Stop them return them home
The queen is ryt,. Looking deep within anc,. There are signs of infighting,. Phophi is now a Trojan horse to the public mouth. They been a plot to disturb her politics carrier by a certain faction and she knows standing with the ordinary keeps numbers. Zims must go back. buyel
I like what your are saying and I support you 100% 'ungajiki '
I stand by Ramthuba, even tho I'm a foreigner. She said what 99% of govt/ANC ppl will never say cos of fear of losing their precious jobs. Zimbos have abused SA's welcome. It's way too much. Zimbos must go back & fix their broken country instd of running here
Authorities in Harare must fix the health delivery system for the benefit of the citizens !
She hates herself, she will forever be remembered for such hatretism.
If they dare touch her they will know us better. They have more reasons to call us xenophobic.
Illegal Zimbabweans!!
She is correct
Keep it up!!! OperationDudula
Ure right Dr Phophi it had to be addressed anyway..big up to you👊
She right and we stand by her...!!
O.k. Minister Ayeye👋👋. You're doing great job for backing up your statement and that's a reflection off a true leadership. But one of the Ministers from Zimbambwe said something about sttong relationship and secrete btwn these two countries.🤔🤔
Zimbabweans are the downfall of the whole SADC. They must return and fix their mess.
And that is a factual truth.they went too far and they all have to stop.not only them but all foreigners
Ramatruth for president
Call your comrades to do something about the open boarder’s, corruption at home affairs, performing in front of the wrong audience, a sick vulnerable person, ooh, shem, you lack leadership, just like your ANC, chommies
Good!Me,my family and friends are behind you!😍
I concur with you. You owe nobody an apology. The truth always hurts.
She is right, no lies detected there. Oh
I agree with her. As South African have you ever try to get to any of those clinics. The Emigrants take over , is rude , and racist. Treating ALL South Africans like rubbish!.
We don’t want an apology from her. Forward ✊🏿😎
Captured media trying so hard to turn the public again her for speaking the truth.
Full support for our MEC. She was 100% correct about the Zimbos.
We shall never fold
She’s not defiant she’s telling the truth and leave her alone
I stand with my minister we need to control this situation is out of hand so they destroyed working environment and sabotage our grant system no they in bone system of health that is struggling come 22 December
Agree!
I'm sure that day there was a paedophile who had raped a child in that hospital and was attacked by the community, did she go to that criminal and asked him how she must keep funding for his treatment? she's a disgraceful black woman who should be stripped of her medical titles!!
She's legendary...that's the spirit
MEC Popi is the only standing politician frm ANC and all other political parties in SA. The others are spineless, no backbone, wind checkers.
Never Apologies MEC the truth hurts
Fact remains, apology or not, we all gonna go 6 feet empty handed when God says yes.
Why is this S.A problem.Zimbabwe has to sort out their health system to help their people..SA supports the MEC and all illegal foreigners should go back to their countries.
WHY isnt it the fault of ANCGOVT? da fuq logic is this?
She is well supported by many South Africans who shares and echoes her sentiments. South Africans are fed up & have had enough of struggles and being sidelined.
Defiant Why label her as defiant?
Fully supporting you MEC
And the whole of HealthZA will support her
And you now have a problem, Because many of them paid under the table for SA CITIZENSHIP ,,,,They voted for EFF OR ANC but now you want them out You were all warned about all these Zimbabweans Somalians Nigerians etc etc and now ,what you going to do.
Hoor hoor!
Rimwe zuva...😥 vevhu vacharatidza hunhu
And we are right behind her echoing the same sentiments.
I agree 💯
Those who are singing for her resignation mustn't push us too far!!!🤔
I support the MEC💯 Zimbabweans are problem and have to be stopped
The poor South Africans are paying a heavy price by competing with immigrants for the limited resources that available in this country.
Kgopzaza HandsOffDrPhophi HandsOffDrPhophi PutSouthAfricansFirst ❤️🇿🇦✊🏾
In this country if you talk something that will benefit the south Africans you are wrong this MEC is right I fully support her statement and she must not apologize
We are behind you MEC Phophi
Emma_Modiko How many years has the party that the MEC belongs to been in power, and why is she playing to the gallery and why have they not done what is expected of a government to do by securing borders?
Enough is enough, we salute Dr Ramathuba for bravely expressing her concerns.Salute!!
Dr Phophi does not deny anyone from getting service, they just have to pay as we South Africans pays tax. The person who is against her want to see the ruling party falls down to the ground. Those who support those illegal foreigners must pay for them to private hospital.
Fake news she is right they must be stopped 🤷♀️
She is telling the truth. Why must she apologise and to whom must she apologise to. The person that says she must apologise must organise for those illegal foreigners to be admitted in private hospital. Why can't they go to private hospital.
Finally someone with the guts to simply state what we've all been thinking. We've been taken for a ride for far too long under the guise of Ubuntu. We stand by you. Imbokodo.
BUT ITS NOT A HOSPITAL PROBLEM! ITS A BORDER PROBLEM!!!!! Why doesn’t this government not understand?! If you control the borders you wouldn’t have this mess!! You control the fire when it firsts starts not when it’s now spread! 🙈
HandsoffMECRamathuba PutSouthAfricansfirst Do not apologize MEC
Apologise for what? Stop it already! It’s still women’s month!
She is 1000% correct. PutSouthAficansFirst PutSouthAfricaFirst PutSouthAfricansFirst
Donald J. Trump walked so she could run.
I wish South Africa can be free from all illegal immigrant, South Africa that's free from illegal Nigerians and Zimbabweans
Zimbabweans are happy with ZanuPF
Ja ne'... Die kombuis myt tea girl maak sens!😂🍺
nyiko_au_plus Good don’t fold we fully behind you PhophiRamathuba ❤️❤️❤️❤️
nyiko_au_plus 💯🎯
She has valid points, but people don't see the motive behind it After all, it's politics. Bookmark this tweet and check a few years later
You can advocate as much as you like, but you won't succeed in turning us against her. We support her 110%. We are unshaken. We are unmoved. South Africans are fully behind you MEC. Hold on steadfast!
Whos this animal's 'Zimbabweans ', who she hates , I love. Could be anything.
We love you Dr
I hope it's not another political stunt to raise ANC votes here, thou what she said it's right but that was not the tool to fight maladministration ,poor policy laws and immigration policies etc
You tend to forget that we in Limpopo don't listen to the rubbish from criminal apartheid racists, RET thieves, clowns masquerading as political analysts, criminal NGOs benefiting from drug smuggling, racists benefitting from cheap labour of Zimbabweans etc. Dumelang Bakone.
When did she say ANC had gone too far and must be stopped?
When the SIU comes for her department then, people must defend her and the corruption in the DOH.
My frnd, u don't run dis Country, who are u 2 decide
Who is funding you SAns want to know!!!
WE, THE POOR AND THE MARGINALIZED OF SA, ARE FULLY BEHIND Dr Phophi AND SHE SHOULD NEVER RETREAT NOR SURRENDER SOMEONE HAS TO STAND UP FOR THE POOR PHUCK STRATCOM PROPAGANDA MEDIA COS THEY DEFEND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
The ANC has gone full MAGA, just to stay in power.
I am with you MEC, we refuse to be blackmailed. You can't deliberately break the law of a country and not expect consequences. People who come legally in our country will be respected and serviced accordingly.
Dankie wena Phophi 🙌
It's sad and bias how we want to protect others but we can't protect our own. My 6 months old child was once turned away from our community clinic on Saturday cause he had flu & the nurse said he wasn't an emergency case. Let's face it, we can't pour from an empty cup as SA ppl.
What about the looting in the health sector and assassination of Babita Deokaran… is that not gone too far? Why don’t you use your boldness to say something about that.
As foreigner, I support her 200%, we can't because our neighbour give us food everyday, then we become so lazy to farm our own food. She called out Zim president and if what she said is not true, let the govt respond & tell us why Zimbabweans can not be treated at home.
I think she has done enough explaining. Majority of us got and appreciate what she said, we stand by her. The rest can go fly a kite. Let's move on. PhophiRamathuba
Why don’t private hospitals rope into this discussion, cos they observed the trend years ago& structural aligned to PROFIT from influx of foreign patients bcos they ACT. MEC shud approach them for solutions, like everything else, private sector handles critical situations quietly
She must not apologize
Yesssssssss
Can she comment on the “ fact check” article depicting her mismanagement as the real concern?
My MEC,call me for assistance if you need backup to stop this Zimbabweans
We stand firm with the MEC
We support you mama,don't fold
We stand by her
We stand by her actions too. We are fully behind her. HandsOffDrPhophi
Wena Admin uthini?
Buwa doctor ramathuba this has been overdue, South Africa thinks they are the best in allowing wrong things to prolong at the expense of its poor citizens, this must stop,South Africans are suffering, go to every squatter camp and see the izinyoka nyoka, you will cry
We love our MEC. VOETSEK SUNDAY TIMES
2024 ANC campaigning has started While she spoke the truth about foreigners overburdening our public healthcare She is not an angel,she has been an ANC MEC since 2015 and Limpopo is a mess The ANC allowed foreigners to flock to South Africa since 1994 uncontrollable
stand strong Dr Phophi Ramathub 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Amandlaaa, qina comrade PhophiRamathuba
Phela wayeqambi amanga, uzoxoliselani?
Nothing to apologise for
Pity you took this long to stop them!,you had to let them go too far before taking action.
Is it because of Zimbabweans?
We as South Africans are 💯% behind her
and we are well behind her✊🏾
YesuMurena
N I stand with her
It was still completely despicable to berate a sick person in hospital, in front of cameras. The point about foreign nationals using our state health facilities could have been made without that.
Supporting her.
I support her for staying firm on her comments. Those who want her exed clearly don't care about the state of this country. They hate the truth.
Do not and never attempt to do so, you are on my side.
💪💪✊✊✊Amandla!!! Maatla!!! matimba!!! Power to the people Much love to Dr Phophi Ramathuba Much love🔊🔊!!!!!
You are trying hard to destroy MEC. We stand with her. Sunday Times, EFF,DA can go to hell
that they want to be in SA but as a matter of survival! SA is not the best place to live for a foreigner but as human beings we need to survive!
PhophiRamathuba could be right in her observation! Zimbabwe must pay SA for healthcare provided to its citizens. But she directed her concerns to the wrong person and the wrong time. As a politician she best knows where and how to present her views! Zimbabweans are in SA not ...
ZANU pf won resoundingly yesterday in a constituency election
She soiling bother to apologize and even consider to spot answering your silly questions
Hands off to Dr Phophi I behind you 100%
Zimbabweans must all go home and vote the right person and start rebuild Zim...time to go
We stand with her🤞
NEVER APOLOGIZED MEC!
We stand by the MEC. SAns continue to suffe as we tiptoe around the issue of illegal migrants who are clogging our health facilities. Tired of pleasing foreigners! The MEC is in that position to serve SAns. We support her actions in this regard bcz she is standing up for SAns.
Dr Phophi you are on the right track. I go with you Zombos must be stopped.
No, Aunty Pat has gone too far with her washing line fence. Get ForGoodZA to reimburse the money their boss wasted.
You were wrong for telling the patient
Taudiyarora_70 Ziyakhala manje
You have the support of south Africans citizens,,citizens of this country loves you,
At last 👊🏾
This lady is saying right thing. Every country check legality of any foreigner nations that want medical attention in hospital or clinic. You can't just attend to anyone without checking his or her documents. Nothing is for free.The only issue in SA,there is no govt.
When is Ramaphosa going to b arrested
She is absolutely right
100% sport on
We standby our leader, the more you throw harpoon on her the more we embrace her. You are betraying us, you have medical aids, our CBDs have become no go areas while you to drive to the malls, our kids are fed drugs whilst yours' are at private schools. Keep on provoking masses
HandsOffDrPhophi
Yes she was
The real problem is not the Zimbabweans, the real problem is the ANC and its corruption. Focus on the ball, don't lose the ball.
Mbokodo is you🙋🏽♂️
You are 100% right MEC & you shows your leadership capabilities unlike the rest of your fellow comrades except Dr Aaron Motsoaledi you guys are having passion for leading this country without fear
Agree 1000% thanks for speaking out.
No body want to hear the truth
If you think these headlines will somehow turn people against the MEC, you are sadly mistaken. We stand by the MEC, Zimbabweans have gone too far, too far south and they have to be stopped. Their country is a bit north. There they will get the healthcare that they voted for.
She at least got Zim useless leaders to speak. Provoking long awaited discussions. My HERO
will keep telling people about your good work in my life LisaMarkdona2
The msg was right but the timing was bad n unprofessional.if you are emotionaly attached to yo political +cultural+religious learning ?you are bound to make mistakes.if one can't reason beyond petty sentiments,you are a danger to all of us!
Busy hiding behind Zimbabwean Patient. How about the money of HealthZA you are currently looting not employing enough nurses? Stop praising this girl. Lisela eli.limpopoprovince limpompoMEC
You have my overwhelming support the touch you they've started the deportation programme
I love this woman.
Media houses in SA are forcing us citizens to accept illegal immigrants,illegal things and accept when they take the little resources that we are struggling to have in name of our bro & sis or one African,yet other countries don't accept such things.anc,media are destroying SA
Sies!!!
Is true the budget belongs to South African only.
Today it's Sunday let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.” “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way.
Trump also doubled down when he was wrong. Now is is going to jail. Like Zuma.
Mec spoke to a patient but the message was for mnagamgwa and sadc leaders
And we stand by her. She echoed what we all are thinking.
Gud sisi truth always hurts
Yes girl ! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽 No surrender, no retreat. Those who want apologies must go get it from edmnangagwa , not here ! HandsOffDrPhophi
Kill the farmer, kill the boer. More Government sanction XENOPHOBIA, more NON-AFRICAN UNION separtists. Woeful, to say the least. No 'liberated' country in Africa has succeeded, economically, politically or creatively. VIVA ANC VIVA.
A South African politician who's reached this conclusion is gold. For various opportunistic, self-serving reasons they avoid it, to the detriment of national interest. She has outgrown provincial politics, the centre is poor without her likes.
It's u who need to be stopped for being afraid of the truth sies Sunday times
I support her too, she's right
