Freddy Sonakile of the Democratic Alliance has criticized the ruling ANC for setting a precedent of seeking medical treatment overseas. He points out that this practice highlights a troubling disparity, as many South Africans face significant challenges in receiving adequate care within the nation’s public health system. The influx of officials and leaders opting for international healthcare, Sonakile suggests, underscores the urgent need for improvements and investments in local hospitals, which serve tens of thousands of citizens. The issue calls attention to broader systemic problems within South Africa’s public health sector, demanding thorough scrutiny and action.
