VIDEO WENT VIRAL THE SAME WEEK THAT DA WAS BARRED FROM ENTERING HOSPITAL
This video was shared on social media the same week that DA leaders were denied access to the hospital.
During an oversight visit, members of the Gauteng provincial legislature (MPLs) Solly Msimanga, Jack Bloom, and Refiloe Nt’sekhe were barred from entering Tembisa Hospital.

This was despite the departmental invitation to take the portfolio committee of health to an oversight scheduled for Thursday.
THE DA WANTED TO KNOW FROM THE MEC WHAT THEY ARE HIDING?
“This denial follows distressing reports received by the Democratic Alliance (DA) alleging that patients were compelled to sleep in tents and on the floor.
“This refusal to grant access raises the question, MEC Ralehoko: What are you hiding?”
Msimanga asked.
He furthermore said the Tembisa Hospital has become synonymous with illegality, marked by fraudulent transactions that have cost the institution nearly R1 billion.
“Shockingly, this includes the procurement of plastic buckets at an exorbitant cost of almost R10,000 each.
“The corruption plaguing Tembisa Hospital is not victimless. It directly impacts patients who bear the brunt, often at the cost of their lives, within a failing healthcare system.”
THE HOSPITAL HAS BECOME SYNONYMOUS WITH ILLEGALITY MARKED BY FRAUDULENT TRANSACTIONS
According to Msimanga the severity of corruption is further highlighted by the tragic fate of whistleblowers like Babbitt Deokaran. She paid the ultimate price for exposing rampant corruption within the department.

“It is imperative that Health MEC Nomanthu Nkomo Ralehoko is held accountable for the unlawful denial of oversight at Tembisa Hospital. The blatant disregard for the rule of law by ANC Health MECs has contributed to the complete decay of the Gauteng Health system.
“While companies aligned with the ANC are granted unchecked access to loot, it is the residents of Gauteng who bear the brunt of this crisis.”
Msimanga said.
He also made it clear that the DA will initiate proceedings against Health MEC Ralehoko for obstructing the constitutional mandate of MPLs to conduct oversight.

“The widespread corruption and maladministration within our Gauteng health system must be brought to light.
“Additionally, we will be pressing Parliament to account for the absence of any arrests thus far.
Despite the well-documented corruption outlined in the SIU report, which has severely impacted the Tembisa Hospital.”
Msimanga said.
