The Public Servants Association in Limpopo has condemned Dr Phophi Ramathuba, the MEC for health, for her approach to dealing with service delivery at health facilities.

In several videos that have gone viral, Ramathuba was captured scolding some nurses and clinic management for their poor management of a clinic.

Chair of PSA, John Teffo, said while the union supports the provision of quality health service to the public, it should not be done at the expense of the dignity of workers. “The MEC seems to have forgotten the basic leadership principle of 'praising in public and disciplining in private', as she is playing to the gallery to create the impression that she is working and workers are not,” Teffo told TimesLIVE.

WATCH | Limpopo health MEC gets tongues wagging for scolding nurses at Rethabile ClinicLimpopo Health MEC Phophi Ramathuba set tongues wagging following another controversial video circulating online. She’s right, service delivery in ALL spheres of government is pathetic, especially in hospitals dirty and filthy and staff dragging their feet it’s embarrassing Celebrity Limpopo Health MEC Poppy Ramathuba I agree with her 100%. People In service must understand that they are hired to provide a service to the people timeously, effectively and courteously. Not this mentality they have of treating clients/people like an inconvenience chowing their personal time to relax at work. 🤷🏾‍♂️

WATCH | Limpopo health MEC gets tongues wagging for scolding nurses at Rethabile ClinicLimpopo Health MEC Phophi Ramathuba set tongues wagging following another controversial video circulating online. Phophi understands very well what it means to be a politician. Optics. Unlike Cyril Ramaphosa who always cancel overseas working visits then keep mum, not lambast Eskom publicly. The country still doesn't know his stance on Energy mix. Gwede Mantashe made his views known. If you understand the Batho Pele concept then there's nothing wrong with what Cde PhophiRamathuba has done. I salute those health care workers 🏆⛑️for displaying their discipline and professionalism in contrast to flamboyant and barbaric🎥💰💼 behaviour
