Bongani Bingwa speaks to Commissioner Sandra Makoasha from the South African Human Rights Commission as troubling reports surface of foreign nationals being denied care at local clinics. Pregnant women turned away, the sick left untreated, all because they don’t have documentation. Despite Section 27 of the Constitution guaranteeing emergency medical care for everyone, some clinics have become flashpoints of xenophobia and frustration. With groups like Operation Dudula fanning tensions, we ask: is this a case of a strained system or are migrants becoming the scapegoats for deeper failures?
Bongani makes sense of the news, interviews the key newsmakers of the day, and holds those in power to account on your behalf. The team bring you all you need to know to start your day
