The National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union said she was wrong to discuss this with a patient in that setting. Shumba says they expect that there will be procedures and processes to interrogate the MEC’s actions. “The difficulty we have representing Zimbabweans, we cannot at this juncture dub or label the comments as xenophobic. She was speaking in her own opinion [capacity] and you should appreciate the volatility of the situation, and the fact that we have now been hung up to dry in the context that Zimbabweans are operating in, at present. This is a volatile situation where our representatives label her actions and comments as xenophobic.
“At this moment, it is quite difficult for an ordinary citizen to access health care service in public institutions in Zimbabwe. If I get sick today, I can tell you that I cannot afford to get that medical attention. Unless the government intervenes in this health crisis that we are having. As you self introspect you realise that we have a broken health system,” says Dr Muzenda.
Wether Phophi Ramathuba is xenophobic (afrophobic) or not but the truth is despite of patient entered South Africa illegal, Phophi Ramathuba supposed to raise the matter with relevant department in a relevant platform not directly to patient this is being irresponsible.
So Shumba thinks that by siding with PhophiRamathuba he will get Permanent Residence in SA? Useless! He as a exile should be at forefront calling those rants what they are! Uncalled for, Afrophobic and inhuman! She must directly call Mnangagwa and express her concerns!
The comments are not xenophobic. Using the resources of the hard-fought homeland of the South African people after 370 years of struggle on its own people who are in need is right. The late Winnie Mandela on foreigners flooding South Africa.
Come take your people. Ramathuba she's right. Its so very unfair to us tax payers being used to feed other country.
