JOHANNESBURG – Acting Health Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane has hit out at political parties that are critical of Sahpra, saying the body should not be forced to do its work due to political pressure.
The Economic Freedom Fighters has demanded that the regulator procure other vaccines, especially those manufactured in Russia and China, to be part of South Africa's inoculation drive. In a scathing statement, Kubayi- Ngubane said forcing Sahpra to authorise the use of vaccines at a whim, without due process being followed, was a dangerous demand.She said the demands by political parties were threatening the mandate of the regulatory authority.
The acting minister's spokesperson Hlengiwe Nhlabathi-Mokota said, “The regulator has consistently outlined to the public processes that need to be followed before the registration and approval of any vaccines to be used as part of government’s efforts in the fight against COVID-19. This cannot be done in the absence of any clear information about the efficacy of products that have not undergone rigorous testing by the regulator.
Call a spade a spade and lambaste the EFF. Stop pussy footing around the obvious!
Which pressure? They are incompetent fools heading that body,suspended minister announced in Feb that they considering the two vaccines,they come out now saying application for the 2 was recognised week,we need vaccine not the people who made it available,logic tells,
Logic and the EFFSouthAfrica are mortal enemies
Her concern is hangaut
Do you call the EFF's march a political pressure? Don't you think you're giving them too much credit?
Let science dictate please
Can Aron Motsoaledi come back
Conflict if interest within Sahpra created pressure,yes agree.Nothing else.Your brother Zwile in February promised South African that Sinovan and Sputnik talks are on advanced stage, today June you talk about pressure.Pressure is created by those who want to benefit out of this
His biggest blunder that led to suspension.... He went east when the government wanted only the west products
