- Research by civil society groups has revealed that undocumented South Africans and foreigners in Mpumalanga are being denied access to healthcare. Ritshidze project coordinator Ndivhuwo Rambau says undocumented foreigners do not report these cases because they fear they will be reported to the police.

Some of us live in the Asias as South Africans and we all need legal documentation to access everything (healthcare, banking, cell phones etc). Everyone prioritizes their own, why can’t SA do the same?
So if you loose your ID say in an accident, You are not entitled to health care. Think beyond your Asianness
Exactly they are right ...the right to access to health care yes will be given but do carry all correct documents ...u need a referral letter especially if u a taking ARV's u can't just give any regimen of ARV agents..you presenter have you ever worked in the clinic never I assume...fuck constitution..u'll just want to give everyone all our resources meanwhile we pay taxes in order for all these resources to be available. This just passes me off really
We were all told to bring your ID or your paperwork to access the clinic .People must obey laws .That woman must tell her clients to bring ID or some paperwork that's the law.
Humanity first.A document does not make you more or less a human. we have south africans who are undocumented and others loose ID too.

@@jameskillu9171they can go to home affairs and get temporary ID, simple
@@jameskillu9171There 7s something called a temporary ID. And you only have to take your papers tge 1st time after you have a file it is fine. Our budget for clinics & public hospitals do not count illegal foreigners. So we will not have enough meds for S,Africans. We cannot support foreigner. They should pay for public health services especially if not a emergency.
This totally nonsense our people are going through tough healthcare with poor services yet we are concerned about foreigners who are not documented clearly not registered for tax😢
They must pay for all social services, free medicines are for SAns.
But that is not what is in the Constitution
Everyone has a fundamental constitutional right to health care including reproductive health care 😂😂😂
They come to SA and access social services, health care, social grants, but they live in the neighboring country, that is bs!
This is misinformation, xenophobic rhetoric not based on facts
Such people are the ones who encourages lawlessness in our country
This must be implemented at every hospital and clinic working with home affairs to deport them fro hospital
Doctors in hospitals take an oarth to serve and save human life. They are not xenophobes
@@jameskillu9171 We will change that. We don't owe them
@@kagimanye1757exactly abahambe sies we need PA
@@kagimanye1757Are you saying SAns must never fall ill too outside of SA? There is no where in the world, even mid-air a HUMAN BEING can be denied medical help.
@@stellastar63 you can gaslight your children not me.
Sometimes i think SA people don't understand the struggles of SA people! And then we must pay tax for these people! Lets be real
Good, they should be denied. Change that section
Dont you think what you wish others can happen to you. Humanity first, Karma is real
I agree man we don't run a charity case for everyone in s.a
WHEN YOU GET SICK YOU WILL UNDERSTAND , DONT EVER WISH THAT TO ANYONE LIFE IS IMPORTANT
That's evil
@@nyashamachingura6069go to Zim
The forgeniers will go to their country for holidays,but a soon as they come back they go to the South African clinic for a check . Why don't they go to their country's clinic . Why must we ( our tax payers ) pay for them . Send the bill to their goverment .
Throughout the world, foreigners are forced to comply, but in SA they’re treated with such fragility because South Africans fear being called xenophobic for speaking out. If they’re illegal, they should not be assisted in any way! WE are tax paying citizens and we do this for the betterment of our people, not to be burdened by delinquent neighbours.
Clinics are getting digitalized how are you going to register people without paperwork or IDs uyahlanya losisi .
Digitized or not, South Africa. It belong to all who live in it.

@@jameskillu9171we will change all that, very soon
What kind of madness is this? What should happen is the clinics should call SAPS and Home Affairs soon as an undocumented person enters their premises. It's a criminal offense to be in a country illegally, thus they should be treated as criminals
At the clinic or hospital you have to issue Identity...it is important...what if you have to undergo serious surgery n nobody knows who you are...how must the follow-up be done?some service need to be paid for..if you are undocumented where n how the bill or account should be sent to?
But there is no law saying in order to receive medical treatment you must produce an ID😂😂😂
Yes, the constitution said that but did not say you can come incognito. People cross borders for health care and don't live in SA.
No they don't have a right ...with who's tax?
The constitution also clearly states what procedures foreigners need to adhere to get their documentation done?
Dis constitution need to be change otherwise SA will be on debt bcz of foreigners accessing our Healthcare free
Uyagula losisi they need the transfer
Undocumented South Africans????😮.
I am so confused
Nothing like that. Are still prepared schooled to know one of the languages.
Yeah it does happen - foster children, orphans or maybe your parents just never got you an ID or you lost it....
I dont go to my local clinic anymore for my babies immunization or when his ill id rather go pay at the chemist coz the clinic is always packed with foreign nationals, i will get there at 8 and leave at 3 and get no medicine coz it will be out of stock. They even bring their sick parents from their countries just to get free medical assistance 😢
It's so unfair. They put too much strain on our services. Many even fake illnesses to get meds to go sell in Zim, Lesotho & Swaziland.
Undocumented south african is crazy ...
No guys sometimes we need to let officials do their work. They need those checks and balances. SA has a huge drug problem and we know that HIV and Cancer drugs are being used as recreational drugs too. Most South African departments do have functioning Hotlines, even a WhatsApp number, and it's easy to get the referral, haibo.
They go to the hospital and clinics without documentation and expect to be assisted...it has been sad years ago you need to bring your documents when seeking health care...and to top it all,they are so demanding when they are admitted to our hospitals forgetting that they are not paying a cent
whose budget is that one.
These human rights will be our downfall.
All over the world you have to provide documentation. If we travel to other countries, we have to have health insurance. Digitalise the health service and everyone has to register first time with ID, your ID gets scanned into the computer and no matter what part of SA you present for health care you face and ID is in the system, so you do not have to carry ID at every visit. Those South Africans who do not have ID need to go get ID and stop making excuses.
This constitution needs to be changed
That is nonsense, that illegal immigrants gets free medical health in South Africa. illegal immigrants must pay for health care.
If people like visiting, countries have to have their private insurance and they can enjoy their( Nice Time. When they are sick they can go to any doctor of that certain country . .Accidents is maybe something else their insurances will check who is at fault to pay the affected ones.Why these go home for holidays and come back sick chase the South African patients out of the hospital beds . Where are we here?
It’s about time 🎉🎉🎉🎉
How can we afford healthcare for everyone who comes here illegally. We are not a first world country yhooo hayi ngekhe. This Constution needs to be revisited and certain clause be amended
Thats right, they must go to their embassises
They must go!
Having lived as an immigrant in various African countries .i resorted from going to hospital . I remember i was in Guinea having fits with out papers.i was denied access to health care.i mastered the art of using traditional herbs.15 years now i no go enter mumu hospital
Turn thm back we are tied maan abahambe its our tex tht will cater for our citizens
"please woman what do you say here is exactly wrong .l know countries people who are not from their countries they have to pay from their pockets e.g hospitals dentists and doctor consultation .No country pays for illegally people in their countries except this country .Why does South pay for the whole world here on the cost of Tax payers who themselves don't have exactly these chances?mmmmmmm it is a shame and it is unfair.
Why dont you discuss the hospitals not coping with influx of foreigners. Not budgeted for by government.
This TV lady is talking nonsense Maybe she's dating a foreigner herself
Some cross illegaly the border in order to give birth in SA hospitals hoping that their kids will automatically attain SA citizenships.Why are they so eager to become SAns whilst at the same time they boast about being hardworkers,highly educated, having strict laws and owning land back home...😂😂😂
For real 😂
It is unconstitutional, health professionals who are involved in this practice risk being dismissed.
They need to pay from their pockets. Ndibuwo. You are so disappointing
whats wrong with that?????
Humanity first
Deny... Deny...
Deny...
Until the get the picture
You don't need ID to access medicine
Asinova ngani apha amaforeigner makangavunyelwa qha

I love what they are doing as they putting strain on South African economy as our health system is on deficit
THIS COUNTRY IS BELONG TO FOREIGNERS, THIS LADY UYANYA😢😢😢😢MASIMBA
Abide with law and order Zimbabweans and stop complaining.l and challenging our policies.
to be honest in other countries you need IDs in southern africa and the worlld, unless its a ER situation the Docs/Nurses need to be able to follow up and track the individual to make sure they know their medical history. These groups should rather be campaigning to get everyone to register for IDs or find out why they arent at the moment.
Everything For Free
Human rights in a foreign country wooowwww....
All thus Boo..Haa..
I'm a 60year old South African.chronic cpatient.moved from jhb to capetown and was denied acces😂 was turned away
In many cases ppl do not even have proof of the chronic meds they are on. So it's better to get a letter from your previous clinic.
How are they going to access NHI because you will also have to register with your ID?
My tax sisi, you talking kak. You must visit Bangladesh.
What a load of nonsense , so anyone can come here witout papers and get health care at the taxpayers expensive i totally fine with suporting my fellow countrymen but people who have probably come in illegally are not my responsibility they should be building thier own countries and thier elected government provinding for them .i dont break into my neighbors house to make a sandwich or help myself to thier things its the same concept
But Malema promised NHi to all 😮
Do u understand nhi and where it comes from or its meaning?

So sad. Mpumalanga has replaced colour apartheid with document apartheid. Healh care is a human right. It is evil and a crime to deny heath care to a person in need.
Humans have rights in SA only. In Zimbabwe you forget about all your human rights 😂
😂😂😂😂
Afrophobia of the highest order😂😂😂
At whose expense? We are paying lots of tax for our own citizens ..haibo!
Hey wena sisi wa levenda go with them makoti wa makwerekwere
