South Africans Amused As ANC Seeks Answers From Government Over Solly Moholo’s Hospital Treatment

• The ANC wants government to answer about the treatment Solly Moholo received in hospital
• The popular gospel singer picked up a bacterial infection in hospital after undergoing surgery
• South Africans find it funny that the ANC wants answers after they created the initial problem

South Africans are generally amused by things politicians do, but the ANC’s call for answers over the treatment of Solly Moholo in the hospital has taken many by surprise.

Social media users pointed out that it was the ANC themselves that were responsible for the poor healthcare system, making it ironic they were now complaining about it.

She explained that they are discussing it with Minister of Health Aaron Motsoaledi and the provincial government and want an entire report on what transpired.

Mokonyane added that they were also hoping to get information from the hospital where Moholo was treated, including the amount the family still had to pay.

Moholo’s family detail public healthcare struggles

Moholo’s family has been vocal about the struggles they experience with the public healthcare system, saying that a lack of resources and poor hygiene contributed to his death.

They also had to launch a crowdfunding initiative to cover his medical costs, but they still owe a large chunk of it.

They explained that after Moholo underwent an operation, he picked up a bacterial infection because of the poor hygiene in a public healthcare facility. He sadly passed away.

South Africans criticise ANC

The ANC’s call for answers hasn’t sat well with many, who say they have been complaining about the state of public healthcare for years, but nothing has been done.

“We've been complaining to ANC for years about poor service in our public hospitals until we give up. They still haven't attended to our complaints. Now they complain about still not addressing the problems they know very well.”

“The filth and service in Gauteng hospitals/clinics is so appalling, and it seems there is no premier nor a government.”

“ANC should blame itself for the collapse of everything. We should demand answers for everybody that dies in hospital if this is the case.”

“We should actually be asking for answers from the ANC. They are the ones with answers.”

“The irony. The same ANC who failed to resolve the issue of our hospitals in the last 30 years? Hayi nooo.”

Dipuo Wa Bo Skabe asked:

“They want answers from who exactly? The state of our hospital is the result of their leadership.”
