Social media has been awash with this video where Limpopo Health Member of the Executive Council (MEC) Dr Phophi Ramathuba confronts a Zimbabwean immigrant waiting for a medical procedure in a SAn hospital.
The video is extremely painful to watch.

2] At face value, it's extremely unethical for Dr Phophi, a health practitioner to confront & humiliate a patient, as she is otherwise duty bound to attend to the health needs of patients.
It certainly brings into question, her professional conduct as a medical practitioner.

3] However, besides being a professional doctor, the MEC is also a political figurehead of the ANC, performing administrative duties in the Province.
In fact, she rationalizes her conduct in a way that certainly will find resonance with those governing & funding SAn institutions

4] It would be dishonesty of the highest order, ignoring the scientific fact that African immigrants are helping burden the south African service delivery systems.
Any willingness by SAn service providers to conduct themselves professionally, is inevitably hamstrung by resources

5] It's to this end, that the SAn government needs to self-introspect and re-evalute its role in mitigating the Southern African governance crisis.
Sadly, the ANC has played a very active role in perpetuating political crisises in Southern Africa, now manifesting in many ways

6] At the very least, one would think that regional summits are held to discuss genuine problems affecting member states.
Sadly, African presidents only meet to celebrate their 'revolutionary' hypocrisy, praising each others as long time 'brothers and sisters'.

7] It's not by chance that this video has been taken on camera.
The MEC was fully aware that she was being recorded.
Same goes with other videos showing the boarder crisis, Operation Dubula, and many other activities by government agencies and pro-ANC groups & individuals.

8] The ANC is using an unhelpful policy in its handling of the Southern Africa crisis.
The SAn Presidents' diplomatic route of paying a blind eye to real issues when directly engaging fellow leaders, whilst using a more firm approach when engaging foreigners, is unhelpful.

9] Mr Mnangagwa and ZanuPF have failed Zimbabwe.
That the so called second republic is actually a product of a political crisis that continues to be endorsed by other regional countries doesn't help matters.
We need firm & honest regional leadership, to help resolve our crisis.

10] Saw this morning that some nurses are calling for the removal of the MEC.
At face value, it's a welcome move.
Can't imagine how foreign individuals in public hospitals will be treated henceforth, when a whole MEC publicly stated "you're not welcome here".
It's frightening.

11] However, the horses long bolted.
The issue of foreigners long became political and electoral for the ANC.
If you follow popular SAn social media platforms, it's clear that anti-foreigners sentiments have the endorsement of many locals.
The ANC is fully aware of all this.

12] Fellow Zimbabweans, isnt this is a reminder of the urgent need to fix our country?
ZanuPF has helped perpetuate the colonial indignity of being Zimbabwean, & we can't burden other nations
We need to mobilize to remove ZanuPF & rebuild our country
