, the test costs about R1,200 and is only open to people who have been referred by their doctor.“But then I get here and I ask how much is it and they go 'a thousand four, a thousand five'. That broke my heart. I asked what happened to people who can't afford it and they said 'no there are public hospitals'," Somizi said.
“I feel that something needs to be done about this. Even if I can afford it, I think it's too much and I think they should start putting things in place because it might get worse and are we ready for it. “I think this is where the department of health and the presidency needs to step in and really do something about it because not everyone has access to proper clinics and hospitals and I do not think that people should pay to get tested for something like this,” he said.
