The MEC came under fire following a viral video where she berated a woman for seeking medical treatment in South Africa.

POLOKWANE - Limpopo Health MEC Phophi Ramathuba said calls for her resignation come from the middle class who do not use public hospitals.

The unnamed patient reportedly underwent surgery at Bela Bela Hospital after being injured in a car accident across the border in Zimbabwe. Ramathuba who has received a lot of backlash for the comments has refused to apologise, and flatly rejects calls to step down.

She s correct

What is wrong with you people the tax payer pays to run these hospital which are overrun with people many not South Africans if they want to use the hospital make them pay We could not go to their country and get free medical care it cactus ! Most people think the same !

Except for one, Hopewell, haven't heard any other Zimbo calling out their own government for what happened in a Limpopo hospital when their very own was told to be getting treatment from a Zim health facility. So to many Zimbos, the failure of government has been normalised...

That is very true I cannot agreemore

Lets talk about phopi and her private medical aid. Lets also talk about 500 Million misspent during Covid for which she is not accountable. Blame the right people for this crisis. She blames Zim because the finger points to her greed.

She's going nowhere

And she too doesn't use public health services

I completely support the MEC. She was absolutely correct in taking that Zimbabwean patient to task. That patient was wilful in her deception to use our scarce resources. The duty is to save South African lives first. Where people abuse our system they must be told.

Including red berets executive,they are always after distractions and do whatever to cause chaos but they want to become a ruling party!

How does allowing illegal immigrants to flood our public healthcare system benefit South Africans?

Although I disagree with MEC regarding her approach&the timing of her conversation,calling for her resignation lacks thorough attention to the incident. It's amateurish to suggest she resigns considering that she raised some valid points of national concern in that engagement.

This government and its handlers will remove anyone who tries to move the country in the right direction. Having all this of foreigners and criminals makes it easier for them to help themselves, because while we all looking to the left, they busy cleaning us out on the right hand

If you can tell that to Mnangagwa in his big nose instead of welcoming him with red carpet, you will be my hero. The poor Zim woman is a victim of politician

Don't worry nations of SA support you because you know to manege your budget

How many medicine were thrown or burnt which were not used? We should have always give our priority to Safe the lives of any livings, few medicine that this patient was given does not shrink or collopes the economic of this whole country...

And these useless media houses

And quiet about this one, let them also call for Mnangwangwa's resignation and they must be in Zimbabwe when when they do that.

That's very true they don't understand the frustration

Not true, you do t speak to people like that and post it for all to see, and yes we don't use public health because it's useless the hospital's are filthy and that's all under your leadership

we support you Phophi,the people who don't want the truth can say you are xenophobic but forget them.

Truth haters

PhophiRamathuba.Absolutely she must go. The patients who have to be treated in state facilities are worse off by the likes of you. Your SAMA oath means nothing to you. I wonder if you ever understand what it's saying. You are a big disgrace to your profession and our country.

ramalokot Does she use public health services? Do any of her ANC peers use public health, transport, schools?

Fear no Evil wena Girl

She is not going anywhere shame

This is true kodwa...

And thats on that!

bayanya MEC

Those who say you should resigns are speaking from the privileged point of view. Your not going anywhere.

Honestly the entitlement of Forginers in SA is sickening. PhophiRamathuba was right to call it out. And these people using Medical aid must really chill.

It's a Blessings to you and for those who do not like the truth they will attack you.

ramalokot She doesn't need to resign but only be held accountable for breaching the oath of her profession.

Very true

They're hypocrites🚮

Anyone who wants this lady to resign needs to have their heard examined. I understand that there's been a lot of pandemics since the 19 one, consequently a lot of mentally ill people are on the loose. You may not agree with what she said, but that is her right in our constitu

The MEC is doing her Job well.

100 percent correct. Gonner those days we were using ubuntu but now things are getting out of hands. TOO Many foreigners in south Africa and EFF is allowing all of this thing.

SA POPULATION: 60M UNEMPLOYMENT: 34% (20M) ZIMBABWEANS WHO ARE FACING DEPORTATION BECAUSE OF EXPIRED PERMITS: 200 000? SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE HERE? DOES THESE ZIMBABWEANS OCCUPIE 20 000 000 JOBS? OR PERHAPS MY CALCULATIONS ARE WRONG?

100% correct

Tell them MEC

True my sister most has unlimited medical aid,,,

You are so correct MEC.Keep on doing the good work.

Ethical.

She just covering up for looted funds we read about it now we know her motive.

You going nowhere MEC, South Africa is for the South Africans and we have a freedom of speech. No illegal immigrant or foreigner will tell us otherwise.

u going no where don't be threatened thanks u for standing up for us as middle class and drained tax payers

Yes your right, we use medical aid that is heavily taxed. 🥲 So we have every right to. 🥲

So true.

thick as a brick..who put her there

Absolutely MEC,they are twisting from privilege point of view.

Dr Ramathuba, you are going no where - you are our MEC and we are looking forward to being President of the ANC - young and bold. That is how I know you!

TimModise Stay strong we are fully behind you and we know very well those who criticise you talking too much are not using public health.

lira12_joy I challenge you to put a 'referendum' or to a vote of every single employee of department of health Limpopo, most probably 90% want you gone as in Tomorrow, even specialists you recruited now can see right through you.Hell even specialists who volunteer yearly want you gone!

Exactly.......m proud of you MEC

Please leave our beloved and honourable MEC alone

Don't you dare resign!!

We stand with you our MEC Dr Phophi

I took a eldery gentleman from a rural town, to a hospital after he fell in his house. Thats after he waited for an ambulance for 5hrs. He was left in a wheel chair for a day. He unfortunately died of internal bleeding the following day. Born and raised in South Africa

She’s going nowhere 🤞🏾🇿🇦

She is correct isn't she. They are hypocrites.All have medical aid and go to private hospitals.And goes for all the so called moral journalists and leftys

She’s correct

Zimbabweans went to buy expensive alcohol now they cry for our hospitals? This people must just fotsek, they giving birth to puppies in our hospitals but still have balls to fight,

Hands off our MEC Dr.Phophi it doing a great job.

Privileged people think they can tell us what to do

Useless old Msunu

Fact!

That's how they know you're doing it wrong; they have good healthcare to compare it to.

Don't listen to them. I pray that you survive this

Bolokang19941 She needs to be promoted to Minister!

She should be fired. She broke three oaths. 1. Constitution, 2. Florence Nightingale oath, 3. Law of the WHO.

This is not all about budget but a big hate on African foreigners we no this country it's a xenophobic country from yrs back.

Imagine dispensing vital medication meant to assist South Africans to someone who can fraudulently come back everyday with a different fake name because they're undocumented. I'm certain some are even running profitable kangaroo pharmacies. One Africa se gat

100% agree with her in this country the poor have no voice have no say the rich control the way of life who gets to liv who gets what just like the law one set of laws for the poor no rules and law for the rich the poor must just dance to the tunes of the rich

Those rich must fokof it's our mothers who wake up in the morning to que with illegal immigrants for the whole day

To be fair, they are.

Uyahlupha

As I said before, when Julius Malema visit a hospital, he calls, security is put in place for his arrival with family. He is literally in and out of a private hospital

Amen!!!! They don't have 1st hand experience

Are we going to talk about the MEC for the hole month..heban we have no water for a week now,live the woman alone..it's like y'all have no News nje. 🙄

They think they made it with their medical aid whereas they're scammed loll They're the same with vaccinated individuals 😀 They're very stupid🚩

That is true and most are not from limpopo they dnt know a thing and never seen the situation.

You're going nowhere my sister the majority of us are with you on this one

The fact is human rights have been violated here.that what matters most you should have expressed your frustrations and anger to the very same ruling party that has deployed you and allowed illegal immigrants to enter and strain your budget.

True. Scums and gamors.

Exactly 🙏

TimModise People on medical aids don't understand what we go thru at state medical facilities including my 96yrs old frail mother who receives her chronic medication at Mofolo clinic in Soweto.

Yes! Nkosazana!

Completely true. They don't know how it feels

POINT BLANK PERIOD!!! 💯

So true

Real SA citizens support u too many foreigners in SA

TdoWorldWide Tell them MEC. Besides, their calls are silenced oud by our louder call for HandsOffDrPhophi

Drag them. They dont use public clinics but they pretend to be concerned

Ha lena ditaba lona. What is this?

Mostly your colleagues/comrades ma'am

Visit messina clinic and hospital you'll understand what she meant...is really exhausting visiting those facilities

True, go to public health you will see what she's talking about

Fully agree with you on that

I said do myself

Naked truth

Exactly we love Dr Phophi and we will defend to the end you won’t get resignation take

RsaSiphe Tell them, Doc. MEC wethu ✊🏾

Viva Phophi viva, fear nothing, fokol.

petitendu Don't resign....for what exactly...you don't owe anyone an apology...

NJE!!!

How dare ppl calling 4 her resignation bcos of a criminal,she was there as apolitician not a doctor it is the duty of every politician 2 call members of the public in order, the MEC was 100% correct to lash that criminal

That's true they talk nonsense while using private hospitals with medical aid access

Resign for what they are crazy

8ball_rsa SAns should also question which companies control the economy, their origin, the ethnicity of the CEOs and Board of Directors. This one of fighting over crumbs is pure nonsense!

That truth will again get her more in hot water 🤣🤣🤣

True

SA healthcare system was the most sophisticated,powerful in africa perhaps in the world,when the new government take over(new SA suppose)everything is deteriorated,the government must be held accountable and fix this mess nevertheless I'm supporting dr ramathuba sheila real SA'n

They chase us South Africans from Private Hopitals for having no Medical aid. We hear no cries about tbis. Do foreigners maater more than us? Just a thought

True

Well said

Ma’am leave them alone those ones.They don’t use public health facilities like you and many others who use public health facilities know better…..

True

Akayi ndawowowowo

Bee_Moshani It's lie

Facts

Bazothise Zimbabweans have become global parasites. Where is their national pride? We don’t have enough financial resources to support another country. The ZANU PF is a disgrace.

100% correct

She is so correct

Forget about those people and do your job we always behind you

Fun fact; that pathetic behavior is not only reserved for foreigners at public hospitals, even the very locals are treated badly and most die because of this. But go on!!!

SandileMadonse You know it better Let Julius a friend to a cigarette smuggler & John Steenhuisen start going to the public hospital before they interfere in issues of public hospitals regarding poor people & worse their supporters are poor jobless SAns but they pee on them with no regard

No lies detected

They cannot use public hospitals because of incompetent ANC public servants like you.

It's obvious....

That 100 % truth all those who make noise..

Exactly

The reason people are scared to use public health is because of you! 😂

One of them, 😁

Self introspection is needed 2 any person,unless u are insane?

Haha. New version of “clever blacks”. Ministers would fail an IQ test

NashNizzo I am sure is only EFF and Da but not all of them.

No, it’s from people who are disgusted at how you treated a sick woman at a hospital. Using her as a scapegoat instead of airing you concerns in the right political and governmental structures. U just want to anger your political bosses so u bully weak people.

I love this lady

Nangoku.

Yes we using public hospital clinic we can't complain we support!!!

That statement is true, if you use public health, you can understand what kak is caused by over crowded people and our own are dying without receiving proper health care.

Nangoku sisi.

For someone that’s used public facilities recently;spot on, at the infamous Joburg gen ; citizens are discriminated upon;

Heee Ndaa haa Mufumakadzi tiii🙌🙌🙌

They were used by politicians to chase whites off their country. Let them go back home to build hospitals on the land they thought they'll own. They are suffocating us.

Mthigo_ We stand with the MEC on this one. ANC is failing our country. If one of the senior ANC members speaks out about the wrongs which are condoned by the ANC, most ANC members attack that member and label him/her.

Also from people who have NEVER traveled or lived abroad. They just don't know how other countries operate regarding illegal immigrants.

Spot on, actually we are suffocated by the haves as they are too arrogant & ignorant of the poor's plight that's why they won't be listening until mass destructions occur then they'll 'attend to the matter'

Yes tell them doc

That's unfair

Exactly 🤝

💯👌🏽👌🏽

🤷‍♂️

Facts

She's correct

We stand you, my good Dr, my MEC.

This one must be protected by all means necessary. This country has rules and laws that must be observed by Al of us, we cannot be treated like foreigners in our country because of Zimbabwean people. South African resources for South African people.

I think that's the truth.

MEC you are the voice of thousands of public servants who are stretched to the limit. We don't hate Zim people we have friends from that country but the ANC Govt and Zanu PF Govt must sort out the cross border legislation and compensation for health and other services.

That's true. The privileged always quick to complain but never ever have they used a public clinic or hospital.

Dont resign those people who use private hospital and medical aid they dont know nothing about public hospitals and clinics

I think it's high time south Africa chase us so we go and fight so hard for our soil and freedom back home

Exactly

True MEC

Uyanya logogo

NO-ONE who understands how the ANCGovt & the ANC protects its ANCDeployees no matter WHAT they do wrong, would BOTHER to call for the resignation of this callous, uncaring & unethical ANCcadre!!

We support Dr Ramathuba 1000%

I am not against humanity, but truth hurts,who suppose to fund unbudgetted people South African government 🤔 the Healthcare system is already crippling.

You don't need to use SA's largely dysfunctional (thanks to the ANCGovt!) PublicHealthSystem to have sympathy for Zimbabweans who have been badly let down by the ANCGovt (again!) which props up DictatorsInZimbabwe who have ruined their economy & Health Services!!

Love this woman

W

Yes that is MEC they have medical aid

True

No matter what the situation is, u dnt humiliate another human being publicly like that. Why not with no camera? The world will give us its back m telling you. I dnt know because we are actually left with nothing, we think we still strong, the way we behave, its scary.

No I use public health, I'm from Tembisa... your treatment of people period...sucks! Zimbabwean or South African... that's the said part.

You are a public representative guided by the constitution and policies and not like behaving as a bully in a tarven

Your going nowhere,whoever has a problem can go to hell

She's 100% right. Ungabona amabele enyoka before ubone u JuliAss Malema ku line eclinic

NkukuKZN Facts!!

I stand with phophi ✊

Nnete yao hloka Bana ba phefo🤞🏾

Fact is: Once SA do away with private hospitals there will be more Dr. Phophis

Ignore them, They are delusional. Amakwerekwere need to go back home!

Please don’t resign. I do have medical aid but your contribution is appreciated.

DR AARON, WHERE ARE YOU ?

So true

Actually from political opportunists who are seeking political relevance but deep down acknowledging your leadership.

100% correct, and she is going nowhere!

Correction: we are calling for her resignation because she is a member of the ANC who failed South Africa as a whole not just the health sector. She is part of the problem

Sure khaladzi, leave them barking

TimModise Absolutely, I am one of your big supporters,everyone knows but people they must be politically correct, you spoke to the patient with respect

That lady is bitter herself I wonder how she deals with her day to day problems ,she was suppose to be professional,in other words Ubuntu ,I'm sure she is involved in corrupt ways which are taking down the health system she got a scapegoat and she used it .

Abo redi with discovery executive plan

Are you using it?

And she and her family utilise public health facilities, not private healthcare, right

Xokelani

My sister you going nowhere keep up the good work

Vuyos171 Most of those people are beneficiaries of foreigners.

People like Malema and Maimane

1000% correct!

South Africans can't second class citizens in their own country due to people who destroyed their economies

Not forgetting the racist DA and the evil EFF. Only the witches and the haters of South Africans, would want her to resign. So, it doesn't really matter, as South Africans, we are happy with her. Baloi 👹

Very true

Completely missed it and she has Medical aid

True and some cheap politicking..

Very true! I stand with our MEC. Visit public hospitals and see how many foreigners fill the hospital and fellow South Africans get close to zero service

No ma'am, that stance you pulled on a patient was idiotic

Uchan'ucwethe.🤞 Ngabo kanye. Bapepereza kakhulu.

Yes they must leave our future Minister of Health alone.🤗

They must go to hell ... South African Tax for South Africans ...

With you sister. ✔️

100% True!

Forward Dr Ramathuba, it is those that exploit the cheap labor of the foreign nationals in the country, and are more than happy to see this country teering apart

And that is where the danger is , how do you have strong opinions about something that you can't even relate to, handsoffDrRamathuba

People using public health dont know you ....and dont care.

Would be nice to see Public Servants also using public health sevices in South Africa.

I would love for these people to add this lady on their medical aid, this to demonstrate real care. A person who travel overseas or Milpark and Medicare private hospitals have no business talking about hospitals in Musina,or any public health care.

True they don't knw what's happening vist George Mukhari and see how our elderly people arrive and leave what time when you talk ur xenophobic..

That’s very true

Don't worry Sisi sikho sithule sobabukele

True Mme Phophi

People that are calling for you to stay don't interact with the crisis in Limpopo hospitals daily

lol sisbhanxa kodwa lo mama

Speak the truth

They must discard their Medical Aid to show solidarity, as South Africans we shall wait for their indication of seriousness.

🤣 I don't see any lies,

No lies detected!

SA was like this all this while, those who can afford oppress those who are in need and take away from them even the little they have building their wealth using foreign cheap labours at their expense.

You know wrong and right and you pick wrong🤔

In our country when you doing your job the right way,the corrupt ones will hunt you .

NkukuKZN Exactly

TimModise So true

No!That’s not true! Almost the entire nation is disgusted by the manner in which an innocent patient was humiliated,indignified, belittled n insulted!She is in DENIAL of gross misconduct!KARMA is a bitch!She will get what she deserves in return 4 her rotten attitude and behaviour

I you agree with dr. PhophiRamathuba HandsOffDrPhophi PutSouthAficansFirst EnoughIsEnough operationdudula ♥️🇿🇦

En hulls praat net tobacco hulle weet nie hoe swaar is dit vir ons wat publiek gebruik nie.Hulle praat altyd net kaak.Die MEC is reg!!!!

True people with medical aids are after you they want us to talk. In future at public hospital we want two lines one for ZA and other Foreign national.

EFFSouthAfrica Our_DA are the people who want MEC to resign. Rena PhophiRamathuba we want u to be left alone at Limpopo Health as MEC.

It's true

She should be removed from presiding over the medical fraternity. She can order doctors to botch an operation on foreigners enuf to appease her anger. Her interest is conflicted.

You must resign, shame on you how can you humiliate another woman like you 💔💔💔

Monangwagwa the crocodile u cannot manage u country because of selfishness

Bayakubhedela

True health Minister 🙏

They must Voetsek

Dats real true if you make a petition against our MEC we need to check first if you have a Medical Aid shut uuuuuup don't tock finish and klaaaar.

Indeed and they are mad hands off Ramathuba hands off

Exactly

💯

Akayi ndawo,abahlukane naye bo!!!

Dr RAMATHUBA Phophi you go nowhere my big sister. Foreign nationals should begin to respect our country. If the patient is due to deliver a bby Kgosi Mampuru II female prison can take care of her and the bby. If she is undocumented meaning that she is illegal.

Madombolo_ Some young nurses are so lazy and don't have good❤ to take care of the patients, always in a group talking about their personal life, I don't use a public hospital and I've never been admitted there, but most of my relatives use public hospitals, and I stand by you Dr. Mphophi

You can go now or leave with all the rest of the bad apples after the November elections but go you must Halala the people have spoken

Plain and simple.

I need an emoji with a middle figure. They must go to hell 👹👹👹

Absolutely. They have no idea of how frustrating it is for our people daily, the Doctor, and nurses. It's so easy to speak on things they know nothing about.

Privileged people are a problem because they are far from reality

We ZIMBABWE we say Dr P Ramathuba she is right but the problem is Ramaphosa and his leadership that thy don't tell zanupf goverment the truth , Zimbabweans need free and fair elections only

My MEC we are with you don't worry about half South Africans and those defend foreigners they benefit from them siyabazi awuyi ndawo

Benizela Does she use public hospitals herself?

Correct

Don't resign Ramathuba don't resign

Telling the truth to others become a bitter pill.

Bo Julius malema sies

True

You also don't use public health

This is a long overdue problem where issues are not resolved at a political level. Dr Ramathuba did nothing wrong. Probably frustrated like the rest of the people using public health care services. It rots from the head.

Yes People who failed Matric doing woodwork and friends who studied Political Science and think their intelligent....

This mec things she can handle everything in the DPT, she's got no right to attack patient she must go straight to president mnagangwa

Tell them👍🏻

For a long time foreigners including legal r badly treated in public hospitals, I wonder whats going to happen now after this vampire minister did. 2 yrs back nurse association wanted this woman removed n now she wants to appear hardworking n concerned abt ordinary pple

TimModise We will support you with every tool we have SouthAfricans first

Do your work MEC don't listen to these clever blacks have medical aids

So people who use private hospitals have no say in the affairs of the country, particularly of public health services, especially when some of them are parliamentarians? Doesn't she use private hospitals? Did she include herself in the list of those she's referring to?

We support you my Dr

TimModise 💯💯

When was this going to be addressed if you haven't stood up? They have been quiet as this doesn't affect them, they must remain quiet. Well done Dr

Yes and Zanu Pf supporters !

comradify this...

She is putting South Africans first

I wonder why our own Government politicians don't use the Public Health System? They fly over to Cuba and Russia. Clearly our system is not good enough for them!

21_Be_Positive True PhophiRamathuba take EFFSouthAfrica and the leader Julius_S_Malema who is on record saying he is on Discovery Medical Aid and he will never sleep next to drunkerds in Public Hospital RediTlhabi Radio702 bonglez putsouthafricansfirst

NkukuKZN Those who can afford private hospital fees.

I agree that we can’t treat foreigners- but don’t tell ill patients that- tell the politicians that created this mess

That's true and she is telling the truth and those who don't use public health must stay out of public health's business

People who have medical aid should not force our Patriotic MEC to resign. This MEC Represents workers, unemployed,youth, etc who use Public Hospitals. People with Medical Aid are not affected by shortage of beds, medicines, doctors, nurses, etc in Public Hospitals. MEC be strong.

You going nowhere..

She makes sense

Phezukwabo Dr Phophi we are fully behinds you

Arrogance is really something to anger people. If you cannot show empathy and belittle people publicly you have no room being in the position you are in

1 day on the N1 there was an accident. She put on gloves and helped n saved lives. She leaves her comfortable couch n visits hospitals clinics in limpopo trying to improve n so far no mec has done that. she is supposed to b the incoming minister of health. We don't like progress

Exactly!!!!!

tjabadimm Calls for your resignation are by people who know u haven't conformed your conduct according to d requirements of your Hippocratic oath to do no harm by withholding medical treatment to patients in need, regardless of national origin. U belong in jail. u're worse than an infidel.

Very true, and Unemployed EFF members .

Someone please tag maimane for me, he like being clever and smart he is not by any chance affected u foreigners, him and his family has access to private health care at their convince

Collen_KM She has truly become a politician, totally forgot about Hippocratic Oath. Gravy train results.

People who don't even live in Limpopo, those who don't have damn clue about what life is like there

True

True Mme

So true.

Lol ANC clowns

If they kick DrRamathuba out of her position everyone in South Africa must pay when they go for treatment into public clinic and hospital.

the state has looted our resources. scapegoating black African migrants is a cheap political shot and WE SEE YOU.

You stick in there, what you said was the truth. Funny, freedom of speech only counts when it’s suits certain people.

That's very true

Sophie_Mokoena Indeed Zimbos are draining resources. 71% 0f the allocated budget goes to department salaries.. The other portion goes to claims. The little left goes 2 the actual service. It's same 90% of sa population fight for 20% of the economy while 10% control 80%..blame guptas as well

sadi18032311 No1 is resigning. They must rest

She is spot on again. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

herminahmp

Exactly.

Facts 100%

That’s because it’s the very poor that don’t have a voice. So someone needs to stand up for them.

Be strong my MEC.

They are hypocrites and have medical aid.Some of these politicians have never been to public hospitals even just to do an inspection as MPs.

Very true

1000%

What a childish diversion! The MEC behavior was inhumane, childish, heartless, unprofessional, and lacked medical ethics toward a desperate person who had on mind nothing but trying to stay alive. The budget talk to a sick person was just unnecessary.

Someone needs to tell this woman to shut up. She needs to let her comms team deal this matter.

Facts

Oksalayo public health is in bad state and it would be foolish to belive is due to foreign nationals

Even the great CIC of the Eff is flaunting his discovery medical aid, and poeple are laughing🚮🚮🚮

I doubt she uses public health

True

Samthandi 🥰🥰🥰

Dr Phophi is going no where. Let that sink in.

LIMPOPO_SAN Bayakunyela you must never allow detractors to disturb your good work

Tell them Health MEC

That's like all the ANC MP.

NGO's, social just warriors & other fake outrage peddlers must move to Zimbabwe where they are needed. A call for ZanuPF & Emmerson Mnangagwa to resign would really help Zimbabweans. SA's worst enemy 👇

100%

That very true

Like FloydShivambu

Benizela 🫡

When you start using it your views will change

True people who have no idea what's like in the public service will make a lot of noise. Have they ever experienced not getting medication from the clinic or hospital and at that time you don't have money to buy the prescribed medication. The rich must just keep quiet

Yes.

Tell them to go to hell.

True

Calls for your resignation are from people who hate violation and humiliation of women in the name of fixing a public health that is destroyed by corruption

MBUYISENI Ndlozi no Carl Niehuis

She's Risen, Courageous and Knowing ...

Nnete fela dr MEC. I don't beleive i defend you😊

She's no lying

I think doctor you saved the life despite being criticized for breach of doctors ethics. I would like to suggest that you deployed and mediate the political impasse that is tormenting us. Not Thabo Mbeki.

Give them Hell Mama, the Nation is behind you.

Exactly what I said. And they are the ones that don't want NHS because of long waiting times.

Vele injalo she s going nowhere Ramathuba

Oh so she uses public healthcare? Its calls from your boss

very true doctor !!!

SA is behind you MEC

She's 100% correct.

Classic deflection.

They must relax she is going nowhere

She’s right!! Leave Ramathuba alone! 💪🏼

Very true🤞🏾

SihleMahamba So Zimbabweans can call for resignation of the MEC here in SA but have no say in their country? They only realize that have rights just after crossing the border. So they nit here for work or better opportunities but to demand rights too.

She's going nowhere

True, the poor agree with her

No lies detected there 👌

True they in Sandton using all those Private Hospitals whereas the most vulnerable are living in deep rural places arond Limpopo where an Ambulance takes a hour 2arrive bcs of bumpy roads nuisances all this air_conditioning offices ppls we dont take them serious HandsOffDrPhophi

Spot on, the whole EFF are on our fvcken payroll and are giving us shit.

Bakuqhela ik*k* because uright

OurtenNgomane Amen. PhophiRamathuba . Well said

True

Naked Truth

Does the MEC and his family use public hospital or she also use private hospital , she is just exposed to day to day running of a public hospital?

I agree with her PutSouthAficansFirst EnoughIsEnough ReclaimingSA DeportIllegalImmigrants StopBordersCorruption NoToZimWorkPermits WayForwardSA

On point again.....

Lies...I use public health...she must futzek

21_Be_Positive We stand with you minister

We don't value opinions of those who do not know our experience in the public health they are privileged WeareDrPhophi

Facts!!! The so called NGO’s and abo Mmusi and Ndlozi must go use public hospitals when sick

If you think the state of our public healthcare is satisfactory, you need to get your head checked. No running water, shit on the floor, has nothing to do with foreigners

ANC people and xenophobes are supporting this failure.

That's True 🤞🏿

Sophie_Mokoena Ha bayonya Ramathuba is going nowhere

These two are your problems

Yes Doc,the privilege people are the problem in this country.

She's right but now she has to go back to her department and fix loop holes there ,shortage of personnel ,debilitated infrastructure, lack of pharmaceuticals,supplies ,and other poor or lack of services, lastly I hope the woman was arrested after realizing she's an illegal immigr

However you judge this scenario especially if you think she was right. She was not suppose to lash out at someone who did not choose to be in hospital.This was suppose to be done to Zim politicians who are treated in SA. But you won't blame the cause you'll blame victims always.

You are writing wrong because 90% of us here on social media are supporting her and her statement. We care not about the 6% of those plus the 4% of those illegal foreigners!

100% behind this lady. The Eff model is not sustainable.

Rembu_Nefox We stand behind Ramathuba HandsOffDrPhophi

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Political propaganda!!

What resignation?They must first hand in their resignation,they are the main reason why we no longer voting for the ANC.

The EFF are amakwerekwere lovers & VBS looters……

Sophie_Mokoena MEC must not fold.

The Truth 🤞🤞

It's eff they're multiplying land lines to oust you but you're going nowhere.

Neither do you

If she resigns this country will resign as well by force. Do not start impi.

And Zanu pf supporter's

Yes, who don't know the pain of getting to the clinic and be told,they don't have medication

Also from those who know that regulations work much better than street noise especially for those we entrusted with power. There's no political will to solve this mess, stupid noise by people in position of power is not going to end all this but strict laws will.

“You are poor, you can’t think, I’m rich I’ll think for you”- Sociologists will have to come up with a name for this Societal disorder manifesting itself in SA right now. HandsOffDrPhophi

Sophie_Mokoena Exactly

Not wrong tho.

Yes girl

No lies were detected from that statement.

Gretchen_Ndou Says a person whose governing party has ruined public health institutions…

Labobona bayanya MEC ' we stand with you

I agree with her 💯. Resign for telling the truth

True

She is on a campaign trail, the blind are buying into her nonsense, they can't deliver because of corruption and not illegal foreigners, where are the police to remove illegal miners ? They vanished into thin air, why ? ANC want to act as if they care, it's only about votes.

Sophie_Mokoena Just go pliz.and stop making noise.

Absolutely.

Agreed. Time is now to act in favour of this motherland's people

💯✔️ !

njaps12 100% True... For example Julius_S_Malema MbuyiseniNdlozi helenzille

Zezizinja EFFSouthAfrica

We South Africans agree and stand by Dr Phophi Ramathuba.. Do you agree?

Please sack dis ugly women, she is heartless

Is people who didn’t know this

She’s absolutely right. Everybody calling for her head is speaking from a point of privilege

It's from people who believe that problems can be solved in an adult fashion without unecessary melodramatic bullying of patients. How far did she go to solve this problem with her seniors? Home Affairs? The president? I'm 100% sure she never escalated the matter. Domkop.

It's true

MandelaMinutes True

MandelaMinutes She is precisely right!! I use public health and it's an abomination of illegal foreigners stealing our health care.

She needs to ask that question herself

She is clapping back goed with the truth HandsOffDrPhophi

That's true. The problem with the rich people in this country... wanting to speak on behalf of the poor having not walked in their shoes. People like abo Floyd Shivambu have been living in the suburbs for too long and have forgotten what ordinary SAns face daily.

Yes; absolutely like the Radio Talk 702 hosts that rely on Panashe from Zimbabwe to wash their laundry and mop their floors yet they won't add them to their medical

Anisiyeke ngale story manje ayi

That's true, We stand with Phophi

She's hundred percent right

That's all ANC politicians - not one would be caught dead in a public hospital or clinic.

True baloi

Obviously, the people do not suffer with mental illness...

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.
