Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy Gwede Mantashe has disputed reports that he is in a private hospital.
The minister read several signs over the phone to prove that he was indeed in a public hospital that was operated by the Gauteng department of health in Pretoria. Mantashe said he was transported straight to the Pretoria-based hospital which he mentioned, but requested The Citizen not to name the facility for security reasons.The minister was hospitalised when his wife, Nolwandle, got concerned about his health condition after the couple tested positive for Covid-19.
But Mantashe was adamant that he had never been admitted to a private facility. “To say I was in a private hospital and I am enjoying nice food is not a true reflection of what is happening, in fact it’s completely wrong.”
