that “blaming foreigners for the failure to organise the public health services properly is the worst kind of xenophobia”.
“I’ve worked in the public sector for over 10 years [as a doctor], and the problems we see [at the hospital] are largely due to poor human resource and supply line management, and the disease burden related to the local failure of poverty relief programmes and poor organisation of services — not a handful of foreigners who are here for jobs, not for healthcare,” he said.When it comes to the public healthcare sector, it is true that the clinics and hospitals are stretched to the limit.
: “Why would politicians choose to face the rightful anger of millions of poor and hopeless South Africans when they can revert to anti-immigrant rhetoric and shift blame to those who have no voice?”
Bhekisisa_MG You are obsessed with writing against SA government and its citizens. You guys think you have what it takes to rule a country. You label us as xenophobic and can't write that rubbish in other countries. Nisjwayela kabi.
Bhekisisa_MG The United Nations' 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that 'Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services.'
VijayShadean Bhekisisa_MG The ambassador from Malawi said on national TV that there's more than 6 million Malawis in this country... add Nigeria Zimbabwe and and ....much more than 2m... stats very incorrect.
Bhekisisa_MG This is some propaganda bullshit
Bhekisisa_MG Thanks for some important data that counters xenophobia. Still we need to be careful of not falling into the trap that seeking limitations on immigration(as every country does) is xenophobic, or that having an evidence based approach rather than an absolutist one is xenophobic.
Bhekisisa_MG Even seen blind Nigerians and cripple Somalians ,you cannot get into a first world with nothing but leaves ,Anc has no idea about most things what did they learn in the bush bloody bushwackers
Bhekisisa_MG This Bhekisisa thing thinks we are stupid
Bhekisisa_MG How many foreigners are using South African documents illegally obtained from the home affairs corrupt officials. The figures are only based on documented foreigners. The total number of immigrants in SA is well over 5 million.
Bhekisisa_MG My maths says that if 5% of the population are immigrants and 8% of prison inmates are immigrants, statistically there are more immigrants in prison per capita than locals. Just saying!
Bhekisisa_MG As long as foreigners does not mean fellow black Africans more than other nations, for this is Africa, remember. Africans are foreigners in Europe, and Europeans in Africa. 🤔
Bhekisisa_MG Q: How do yo know when a report/article is rubbish? A: When your daily personal experiences on the ground & of all those you know tell you otherwise.
Bhekisisa_MG The critical ommission in this article is that it fails to split precisely documented from undocumented immigrants. Perhaps extrapolate immigrants origins by continent. Therefore making the article utter gibarish
Bhekisisa_MG One day things must get better
Bhekisisa_MG This article is rubbish. Let them go get stats from SAPoliceService regarding unsolved cases because of fingerprints that could not be traced! I’m saying this because I’m a victim of an unsolved case, so I know!
Bhekisisa_MG This article is nonsense how do u include undocumented immigrants in n ur stats.ayhu the fact is foreigners overcrowd our health system and most of them they don’t even settle their hospital bills.
Bhekisisa_MG Whoever believes this needs they brains checked, i know five illegal foreigners who work at gas stations South Africa is officially a banana republic
Bhekisisa_MG This is Propaganda the sameway y'all tell us WMC doesn't exist, illegal foreigners are taking over go to the ground whoever wrote this smokes too much Nyaope, Nigerians are even trying to infiltrate the SAPS they got caught in KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg in Edendale
Bhekisisa_MG The Anc invited all africans to come , remember Mbeki wanted a borderless Africa so what's the problem ,Parow is small nigeria
Bhekisisa_MG What healthcare?
Bhekisisa_MG The Authors of this report are both foreigners so its expected that they'll be in denial, i think there is more than 10 million foreign nationals in South Africa.
Bhekisisa_MG whoever wrote this lies is intoxicated by nyaope. Go around shacks all over the country and see who stays there. Go next to the road and see who is waiting for the next job. Stats cannot include illegal immigrants. How do you count them because they are not documented?
Bhekisisa_MG I think you should ask the medical staff, people that are on the floor. A number of them are complaining of exactly what the minister is saying. Stats are not always accurate.
Bhekisisa_MG We only employ Zimbabweans in our company as they are honest, hard working, and we have never had work disruption for stupid demands.
