A government hospital can turn away a South African because they don't have a referral from a clinic or a GP but will gladly accept an illegal immigrant with no problem . That's the reality.
The only scandal in this story is the fact that @News24 is arguing that only ANC and government loyalists should be allowed to secure government contracts.
No corruption has been revealed. The only revelation is that @JacintaNgobese is, in fact, willing to jeopardise her income by taking a stand for what she believes in.
The apparent view held by News24 and others that government contracts and jobs should only be awarded to friends of the ANC-led government is exactly the kind of thinking that has led to the deterioration of service delivery.
As was the case with News24’s previous hit pieces against @afriforum, this hit piece against Jacinta and @MarchAndMarchSA lacks substance and further undermines what little credibility News24 may have left.
ADRIAAN BASSON, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY.
You say Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma is “NOT above the law” and hold her directly responsible for threats against your journalist.
Death threats are unacceptable. Full stop.
But here's the uncomfortable question:
When News24 exposed Twatterbaas, you defended the decision to identify him.
Now you're demanding accountability from Jacinta.
So who holds YOU accountable, Adriaan?
Who decides when exposing someone is legitimate journalism and when it crosses the line?
Who scrutinises the people who scrutinise everyone else?
You cannot appoint yourself the watchdog of South Africa and then act surprised when the public turns the watchdog's eyes on you.
Journalists are not above scrutiny. Editors are not above criticism. And News24 does not own the moral high ground by default.
If accountability is your standard, apply it to yourself.
NO SACRED COWS. NOT EVEN IN THE MEDIA.

What else did I miss? 🙂
WATCH: Patients arrived at Olivenhoutbosch Clinic at 8am but only received help at 6:40pm. Others who waited all day were reportedly turned away around 6:50pm. Patients allege nurses take hours-long tea and lunch breaks while sick people sit unattended, some sleeping or collapsing. Many fear speaking out, claiming staff shout at and insult patients. Appeals to the Department of Health have reportedly yielded no results.
