Yesterday, during my maiden speech before Parliament, I challenged ministers and fellow colleagues to use health services from the public sector. I have no doubt that if they take me up on this challenge, the quality of healthcare in South Africa will significantly improve! ๐Ÿฅ

Thank you, @HeidiGiokos for having me on tonight. There is a huge task ahead to overhaul and fix our healthcare system, so every opportunity to engage South Africans is a welcomed opportunity to share ideas.

ActionSA MP, Dr Kgosi Letlape has called on Members of Parliament to use public clinics and hospitals. Letlape claims if they did, they would see the need to improve the facilities and address the challenges of the employees. #DStv403

๐Ÿ“น Among other important pleas, I asked Minister @GaytonMcK to ensure that @SportArtsCultur prioritises improving access to sporting facilities in our townships! I have found many young talented kids who have incredible potential but lack the ability to nurture it. Letโ€™s take

Government must urgently crack the whip and purge the public sector of ghost employees that cost taxpayers millions! Building an efficient and professional public service will require bold interventions to ensure competency and ethical conduct are entrenched across the board.

Since my tenure as President of @HPCSA_ , Iโ€™ve recognised the urgent need for @HigherEduGovZA and @HealthZA to collaborate on overhauling the training platform for healthcare professionals, so that we can ensure we produce professionals who are fit for purpose.

My hope is that @SollyMalatsi brings much needed stability to @CommsZA , which has had 16 Ministers in just 6 administrations. Iโ€™m not native to comms, but I shared my experience in the healthcare sector where billions have been spent on information systems that still donโ€™t meet

1/2 I spoke before the @DWYPD_ZA budget vote, rejecting the inadequate plans and allocations to end the scourge of GBVF. For me, this is personal because I lost my daughter to this pandemic six weeks ago. In her memory, I called on @CyrilRamaphosa to do the right thing!

My call to every leader is to break the culture that perpetuates disparity in our healthcare system, where the very same select few, disconnected from the realities of public healthcare, are entrusted with its management. It hasn't worked and never will!

This afternoon, we are debating Vote 1: The Presidency, deliberating on the critical work the Executive must undertake in the term ahead. Socks need to be pulled up and sleeves rolled up to ensure that the Gov. works to deliver for every South African! #ActionSAinParliament

My colleague @AlanDBeesley correctly diagnoses the absurd budget cuts to SARS, which is akin to the Gov biting the hand that feeds it! Broad austerity measures are being felt everywhere, but the billion-rand perks of a bloated cabinet remain untouched ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ

2/2 Doing the right thing means confronting the social determinants of GBVF. It means implementing tangible, long-term budgeted plans to empower women and foster a culture of respect across society. Without such plans, the budget presented was insufficient!
