Why Africans Should Never Have Nuclear! Bomb Goes Off Under Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe As Bankrupt NECSA Board Suddenly Resigns!

Posted on Leave a comment

When it comes to nuclear, there is no such thing as leaving things to chance or not having ample room, and money, to cover all the bases. It became clear the ANC regime has no clue what this means as the NECSA board resigned, amidst information that NECSA is totally bankrupt. As the rats jump ship, will we ever find out what THEY did with all the money? Or is Gwede simply not up to the job of budgeting for his department, having been warned June last year?

It is patently obvious now why the Apartheid government got rid of their nuclear bombs BEFORE giving the country to blacks, especially with the 118 BEE and affirmative action laws and regulations, making it illegal to employ whites in government departments, meaning there are not many Europeans about to keep an eye on things. The atom bomb was thrown under Gwede Mantashe, the energy minister’s bum on Wednesday, when it became known that the board of Necsa, which is the National Atomic Energy Corporati

Video: Double Amputee Discharged From State Hospital with Mortal Infection, Left to Die Without even Morphine. Needs help!

Posted on Leave a comment

Home invasion victim Braam Blignault lost both his legs from wounds suffered during a home invasion and is waiting to die after contracting an infection and does not even have money for morphine to dull the pain. Young South African Braam Blignault lost both his legs since making this (english-language) video below.

He is now at home waiting to die, the state hospital has said they can do no more for him.

This family cannot afford health insurance and therefore they cannot afford the morphine he needs to stay comfortable and at least make the most of the time he has left with his wife and kids. He has an infection in his pelvis and a septic wound where the skin is too weak to be stitched together.

Braam and his family are now entirely dependent on donations and support from friends and family. Donations in South Africa can be sent to him at:

Medical funds are becoming increasingly unreasonable – People will now have to pay more for towards their medical aid premium, this while state hospitals are plunged into chaos

Posted on Leave a comment

Although it has become a common practice for medical schemes to adjust their rates upwards every year, there are concerns that they will increase significantly for 2020.

Medical costs in South Africa have skyrocketed while the state hospitals are in chaos and no one can dare to be admitted.

The problems of those who do not have a medical aid are far worse than those who now have to accept a sharp rise in rates.

Of the schemes, rates increase by up to 11%, which has become so high for many members of a scheme that it is unaffordable.

Younger people can afford to only take out a hospital plan as a package, but the older people get, the more they need a comprehensive package, which is where the financial bottleneck comes from.
Discovery Health Medical Scheme (DHMS) members will pay significantly more for their medical coverage in 2020.

DHMS’s weighted average premium increase of 9.5% for 2020 does not bode well for premium

State hospitals in SA frequently makes news headlines and not because of good medical care! – Addington hospital in flames, 84 patients had to be evacuated while elevators were out of order

Posted on Leave a comment

An unexplained fire in Durban’s Addington hospital resulted in 84 patients being evacuated. Elevators have been out of order in hospital for 18 months.

The Addington Hospital in Durban had to act quickly to remove patients from the seventh floor after a fire occurred.

About 84 patients, 25 of whom were newly born babies, had to be taken to safety while firefighters assisted.

Heavy smoke clouds later threatened the ninth to thirteenth floor which forced management to implement the hospital’s emergency plan because the fire brigade had not yet arrived.

The fire was still unknown, but investigators would try to figure out what could cause panic in the hospital.

State hospitals are ever so often in the news and not because of good medical care but rather patients tied to chairs, lack of high-care medical equipment, and the fact that patients often have to take care of bedding themselves.

The quality of food has drast

Ill baby denied healthcare at state hospitals, as a result of very arrogant medical employees the infant died – death could have been prevented if medical team chose to do their job properly

Posted on Leave a comment

A Pietermaritzburg woman’s impassioned plea for nurses at two city hospitals to help her very ill infant fell on deaf ears and hours later the five-month-old baby died.

After his mother was turned away from two state hospitals — Grey’s and Northdale — baby Brody Lee Bezuidenhout could not hold on any longer and died.

The grieving family told The Witness on Monday that had he been attended to urgently they believe Brody Lee would still be alive today.

The five-month-old baby died at Edendale Hospital in the early hours of Sunday morning after his family were allegedly earlier turned away by nurses at Grey’s and Northdale Hospitals.

A series of tests later revealed that baby Brody Lee had contracted bacterial meningitis. His bereaved aunt, Janine Kemp, said the infant woke up crying on Saturday night. The mother noticed that the baby was running a very high fever and could not calm down.

When he continued to cry, they knew

Algemene Bestuurder van die Raad van Mediese skemas word geskors daarna aan die lig gekom het dat hy raad mislei het rondom besluite geneem ten gunste van seker organisasies

Die Raad van Mediese Skemas het hul Algemene Bestuurder, Stehen Mmatli geskors.

Hy word daarvan beskuldig dat hy die Raad doelbewus mislei het rondom besluite wat geneem is ten gunste van sekere organisasies.

Hy is glo finansieel vergoed vir die “gunste” wat hy aan die partye betoon het en dui op die korrupsie wat tans die nuusblaaie se voorblad oorheers.

“’N Fluitjieblaaier het beweer dat Mmatli die reguleerder van die mediese skemasbedryf doelbewus mislei het om besluite ten gunste van sekere organisasies te neem. Hy het na bewering finansieel in ruil gebring. Die erns van die bewerings het sy opskorting as ‘n voorsorgmaatreël geregverdig om die reguleerder in staat te stel om doen die ondersoek sonder enige inmenging, “het die CMS in ‘n v

Doctors get a lifeline as government considers shortening internships from two years to one

Posted on Leave a comment

Shortening doctors’ internships from two years to one is being mooted to alleviate the strain in the training of doctors.

Health department spokesperson Popo Maja said: “What we know is that one of the health stakeholders did entertain the idea of internship training being reviewed. But it is too early for us to say anything about it.”

Two-year internships help medical students translate their theoretical knowledge into practice under the supervision of experienced doctors after their studies. One-year community service helps provide health care to under-served areas.

South African Medical Association (Sama) chairperson Dr Angelique Coetzee said there was currently a bottleneck, with too few internships to accommodate medical students graduating in SA and abroad, especially in Cuba.

“Where does one place that large amount of people coming in, plus these who you have already?” Coetzee said. “There is a big b
