Ramaphosa hides as Covid-19 spreads uncontrollably

Read articles in New York Times, Washington Post, The Guardian, etc about the pandemic in US "epicentre [sic]" - to use South African government's confused term - Arizona, Florida,etc that are experiencing surges.

Replace "Arizona" and "Florida" for "South Africa" and the stories could be about SA word for word: lockdown too late, reopen too soon, lack of testing, delays in processing results, lack of a coherent strategy, political confusion, lack of leadership, president in hiding or abdicated responsibilities overwhelmed hospitals, etc. This is not an exaggeration.

Ramaphosa, who has no stomach and aptitude for leadership, and his band of cabinet jesters is going to do to the nation what Mbeki failed to do to HIV/AIDS sufferers only:

Through incompetence and neglect guarantee a significant section of the population get Covid-19 and die. That's not an exaggeration either.

Covid-19 is spreading uncontrollably through the country. To a large extent it could've been limited.

But where's the outrage at his and government's failures? Instead silence from opposite ends - media and analyst Ramaphorias and far-right lobby groups, business and media groups that wanted, and got, an end to the lockdown and for SA to get discredited herd immunity.

On the corrupt Health Professions Council

In 2015 the minister of health found the Health Professions Council (HPCSA) is “in a state of dysfunction”. The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating staff who allegedly took bribes for medical registrations and exam passes. Whistleblowers reported it. Dr Wouter Basson won related cases against the HPCSA’s disciplinary committees in the Gauteng High Court and Supreme Court of Appeal for bias and conflict of interest.   Two members of the committee of the inquiry into complaints about his apartheid-era work were among those who had brought charges against him for.   Recently I laid charges against the HPCSA and members of its Third Preliminary Committee of Inquiry.   A member of the committee had a prior and ongoing business relationship with one of the respondents at the time the case was heard in November and May 2019.   That was a significant factor in the miscarriage of justice (see in this blog).   The committee was biased in favo...

Clean audits: much ado about nothing

 Auditor-general of South Africa Tsakani Maluleke recently released the results of 2023/24 municipal audits. Only 34 municipalities received a clean audit. Clean audit is an SA public audit definition of: financially unqualified and full compliance with legislation (mainly but not exclusively PFMA, MFMA and Treasury regulations) and auditee's ie client's own performance objectives. Incidentally, on the objectives, the AG takes the client's word for their completion or not; it's a tick-box exercise for AG as most of auditing is.  When Helen "Godzille" Zille was Western Cape premier she railed against audits as being an obstacle to efficient administration (really). She used the example of missing library books in the AG's audit of the WC Library department's financials. This was ignorant nonsense. Government departments, politicians and media get in a froth about "clean audits". When government audit results are released, media and politicians...

Western Cape Health has no jurisdiction over its doctors, senior official claims

On Wednesday June 1, Western Cape Health Department's (WCHD) officer Dr Saadiq Kariem was interviewed on CapeTalk about access to chronic medications for WCHD patients. He spoke of two options: collection at a department facility or delivery to their homes. He made it sound so easy. He didn't mention, though, that at many community health clinics aka day hospitals there's a wait, often hours, to simply collect medicines even when clinics already have patients' current scripts on file. I myself tried that - the first time and last time I'd been to a clinic for collection - but left after two hours without even being attended to. I buy my meds which fortunately are not the expensive kind. People cannot take off hours every month merely to collect meds but the poor have no alternative. I gather problems may be clinic specific. On a related matter, during an after hours phone call that weekend, Groote Schuur Hospital's chief operating officer Dr Belinda Jacobs told ...
