Wrong as she was Popi berating a patient that the matter needs urgent attention is real. In fact the system should not accept illegals. From border control to hospital/clinic administration. Most certainly at the medical centre as they approach it. While at it have them arrested.

Zimbabwe hospital offers to pay medical bills for woman taunted by Limpopo Health MECZimbabwe hospital offers to pay medical bills for woman taunted by Limpopo Health MEC Phophi Ramathuba's viral rant has sparked a mixed reaction in SA and Zimbabwe- but help is forthcoming for the hospital patient in Limpopo. All African countries should take responsibility in paying medical bills for their patients accessing our medical care in south africa coz it's only free for South Africans not for the whole world. Let that sink in.... All undocumented foreign nationals should not be admitted in any of our public hospitals or clinix, no ID / Passports or birth certificates then no entry rule should apply to everyone to avoid unnecessary conversations.
