A video of Limpopo health MEC Phophi Ramathuba scolding senior managers at Rethabile Clinic in Polokwane has garnered mixed reactions, with some saying it was “intrusive and performative”.
“As a supervisor, I expected when there is a disaster you'd be sitting here and working,” Ramathuba told the senior manager. “South Africans must forgive me if I might at times lose my cool, like some are saying, but I don’t believe that is how I am. I’m firm and there is a difference between being angry, attacking or being unprofessional.
“On a daily basis we have an influx of foreign nationals choking the health system in Limpopo. The situation is getting worse. As a province, we have a backlog of surgical operations so I started a programme called Rural Health Matter to reduce the backlog. It's not xenophobic.
