Zimbabwe Exiles Forum Backs Dr Phophi Ramathuba, Blames President Mnangagwa

The Zimbabwe Exiles Forum is backing Limpopo Health MEC Phophi Ramathuba. It says she is not xenophobic and is only highlighting the truth. Ramathuba had refused to discharge a Zimbabwean patient who had failed to pay her medical bills in Bela-Bela. She said:

How do you find yourself in Bela-Bela when you are supposed to be with Mnangagwa (Zimbabwean president Emmerson Mnangagwa) there? You know he doesn’t give me money to operate you guys and I’m operating you with my limited budget…

When you guys are sick, I’m hearing these days you just say, ‘let’s cross Limpopo river, there is an MEC there who is running a charity department. It’s not.

The MEC added that her department’s budget constraints are further exacerbated by the fact that Zimbabwean nationals in the country also depend on government services/facilities. 

The Zimbabwe Exiles Forum blames President Emmerson Mnangagwa for Zimbabweans flocking to South African healthcare facilities. In a video, The Zimbabwe Exiles Forum talks to eNCA in response to Dr Ramathuba’s remarks.
