FightCovid19: DA KZN leader urges private hospitals to conduct free Covid-19 testing

Durban - DA KZN leader Zwakele Mncwango has called on private hospitals to also assist government in the fight against the coronavirus by allowing free testing.Speaking to Independent Media on Thursday, Mncwango said private hospitals should show a sense of patriotism and assist members of the public without medical aid by testing for free.

“With the restrictions that the government has put in place, it is trying by all means to safeguard our communities. Communication on the virus has been well and properly planned by the government and almost every day we get updates,” said Mncwango. He said that it was easier to contain the virus within the middle class because they are fully aware of it and they have easier access to information and they are proactive whereas in rural areas a person 'might have a cough and think nothing much of it and think they will be fine'.

This man is not well in his head how can a capitalist do things for free

True but He will loose his job for saying this

They don't like socialists in the DA bafo

They should ask all hospitals Nationally

R1350 at Midlands Hospital to do testing

For the first time in a very long time, something sensible coming from the DA...free Covid-19 testing in all the hospitals (public and private)...

Even the DA agrees with JUJU....WHY DID CR LAUGH WHEN JUJU SPOKE ABOUT NATIONALISATION OF THESE HOSPITALS IF THEY DO NOT PLAY BALL?

🤣😂🤣😂 You're now crossing the line! 'you're not clever as we thought!'.. They'll reply that way

Is the government subsidising the private hospital though?

And what about the PROFIT? THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN LIFE!

They going 2 chase u out,free wat in white community they day blacks are lazy and love free u must 4get it.

Zwakelem you are damn right!

Mene mene tekel ka wena, broer...ask Mmusi

These are for profit facilities that are there for their shareholders. You say this because you just want to outcompete the EFF. Talk sense and you can’t force private business to operate as if it was government. That’s simply stupid. Our_DA EFFSouthAfrica Julius_S_Malema

The word he's looking for is NATIONALIZE

I don’t like DA but I agree with you.
