VIDEO: High Court Judge Denies Lifeline to Hair Industry Dying From Lockdown, Putting a Million Households at Risk!

Posted on Leave a comment

The Hair Industry is in a legal battle to be classed as essential during Lockdown, but got a big no on the first round after four hours in High Court! As if in one voice the Hair Industry have been making the statement: “We are essential”, but the Western Cape High Court Judge Lee Bozalek seems to think differently.

On 27 May 2020, Advocate Carlo Viljoen, acting in a personal and pro bono capacity, stood up in the High Court for the industry. The State opposed the urgent request for the ban on the re-opening of the industry to be lifted. The Court proceedings lasted a gruelling four hours. According to a Court source, one hour alone was spent trying to discredit, not only the case, but also Advocate Viljoen. Judge Lee Bozalek kept on steering the questions and remarks back to the relevance of the case and to COVID-19 related questions.

Advocate Viljoen gave a thorough walk through on each of the 53 points he was using to press the merits of the cas

ANC Knows Better Than Scientists? ANC Ignores CEO of SAMRC Prof. Glenda Gray & Prof. Shabir Madhi, an Infectious Disease Expert at WITS!

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC seems determined to manipulate South Africa’s COVID19 response in a way that it can profit and gain maximum benefit from it, totally ignoring scientific advice, which it asks for, simply to appear inclusive, but then in reality just dismisses. After ANC’s Minister of Health, Zweli Mkhize unwisely slammed SAMRC CEO, Professor Glenda Gray’s response to the ANC’s lockdown measures, where she labelled the ANC government’s Risk-Adjusted Strategy as “unscientific”, yet another Professor has come forward echoing her claim of unscientific practices and giving a hard hitting condemnation and exposure of the draconian lockdown measures and of the so called CCPvirus “Command Council” led by NDZ!

Professor Shabir Madhi, who is a professor in vaccine studies at WITS, echoed Dr Gray’s accusation that ANC government’s COVID19 response is unscientific and that the ANC are ignoring the scientific advise

Despite Six Billion in COVID19 Fund ANC Does Not Test More, Yet Over 40% of People Can Have CoronaVirus Without Symptoms, but Government Only Tests Symptomatic Patients or those with Travel History?

Posted on Leave a comment

As South Africa’s number of officially infected people creeps up very slowly (if we can trust the official figures), relative to other nations, with the number of new infections increasing only by 70 since Saturday to 1,655 with eleven deaths, it highlights that this number is only dependent on the amount of tests being done. Less tests, less patients. Scientists have also found that many people, close to 40% or more, who have contracted the coronavirus have no symptoms, so unless you test widely, you cannot know the true extent of the disease.

Tests done on humans on one of the infected cruise ships brought to light the astonishing phenomenon, after a large number tested positive, even though the patients had no symptoms and were even unaware that infection had occurred. <a href="https://medical-aid.net/why-south-africa-should-be-banning-flights-from-china-now-like-many-other-nations-have-non-severe-cases-are-infectious/" target="_blank" rel="

SA hospitals are described as “death institutions” a National Health program will only create a disaster – free medical care for the entire SA population is not feasible

Posted on Leave a comment

The government wants to set up a National Health Program so that the entire population of South Africa can access free medical care. However, reality speaks volumes.

After an unsuccessful term as Minister of Health, Aaron Motsoaledi was “redeployed” to another sector of the cabinet.

Under his rule, 143 patients died in institutions and hospitals such as Tygerberg, Baragwanath, Steve Biko, Far East Rand, RK Khan and Bongani, to name but a few.

This is the opinion of an informed observer in Pretoria, adding that the hospitals’ conditions are critical and describe them as “death institutions.

Doctors leave state hospitals because of poor control and questionable management. Nurses go to work in Eastern countries or in Europe.

Reports are now emerging that there is no money to hire nurses in Limpopo and 400 nurses are without permanent appointments in the province.

He says commission is on commission to i

Less than 2000 state ambulances nationally may be on the road

Posted on Leave a comment

The national health department says it is against outsourcing emergency services. But with a grave shortage of ambulances, it may have no choice.
Just 1971 state ambulance vehicles are on the road nationally, a Bhekisisa survey reveals.

Health department guidelines say there should be at least 5 700 ambulances in operation — or one for every 10 000 people, according to standards quoted in the KwaZulu-Natal health department 2017 annual report. But with less than 2 000 actually functioning, there are only enough state emergency vehicles to cater for about a third of the population, data from provinces show.

A May audit of provincial health departments by the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) found shortages of ambulances and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel in several provinces.

In response, Bhekisisa requested the latest EMS vehicle and personnel numbers from all nine provinces. The Gauteng, North West, Western Cape, Mpumalanga,
