'It is very clear that this government does not have the capacity to manage health care currently, and it is therefore completely inconceivable how they see the NHI as being able to address the health concerns of this country.'

'NHI will simply open the door for more looting and corruption,' he said during a tour of the dilapidated and abandoned Kempton Park Hospital.DA leader John Steenhuisen has sounded the alarm for South Africans over minister of health Zweli Mkhize's comments that the NHI will be run much like the financially strained and troubled road accident fund .

Steenhuisen said this on Monday during a visit to the dilapidated and abandoned Kempton Park Hospital. The visit launched the DA's"real state of the nation" ahead of president Cyril Ramaphosa's Sona in parliament next month. The DA leader said the ANC government was not managing health care currently but was pursuing universal health care as envisaged through the NHI."It is very clear that this government does not have the capacity to manage health care currently, and it is therefore completely inconceivable how they see the NHI as being able to address the health concerns of this country," said Steenhuisen.

"We all know the NHI is going to open the door for more looting and corruption in the health-care sector, which we know is already riddled with corruption and maladministration.

They cannot run a municipality, SAA, Eskom, Transnet or the nation‼️ How about looking to get 1 thing right before thinking of more ways to throw good taxpayers money after bad ideas.

Since the time of AronMotsoaledi, only million talking

We all know it won't work. But the poor don't care.

I won't pay another tax

Unless DA can “improve” on these numbers, these guys will be voting to take Joe Contributors’ money for the NHI, even though the money will never get there. checkmate InsufficientAchievement guavament TheLootingContinues

Nothing like NHI will colapse the DA need some introspection on policy outlook

Don't think a single person is against the concept of 'free' quality healthcare for every citizen, the problem is how can the people trust the government with billions when it's track record clearly shows an inability to manage money and services?

Like the money stolen from Raf by white Attorneys claiming to represent black victims. It was white professionals who looted the RAF

NHI to address 'health concens'... Don't be silly man... It is another ATM for the political connected, they take the money from our pocket and move it to their pocket...
