Dr Aaron Motsoaledi reveals preliminary findings into medico-legal claims expose fraud, corruption

The Minister of Health, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, alongside the Head of the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), Advocate Andy Mothibi, is briefing the media on the preliminary findings of a major investigation into multi-billion-rand medico-legal claims.

This probe, initiated after a surge in medical malpractice lawsuits against Health Departments nationwide, was authorised by President Cyril Ramaphosa under Proclamation R74 of 2022.

The investigation aims to uncover corruption, fraud, and maladministration within the public health sector.

The ministry must go digital to store information.
The crooks must be arrested and imprisoned.

The SIU must also look into claims submitted against the Department of Education when Panyaza Lesufi was still an MEC. Most of these claims Panyaza Lesufi accepted liability, even before the investigations were finalized, and he instructed his department to pay millions.

Wherever Dr Aaron Motsoaledi goes he works and fixes things. Look at the work he layed in home affairs for Schreiber. It made it possible for Schreiber to hit the ground running. This is the kind of public servants we want. Big ups!!!

You should have frozen all the assets of this law firm and it's owners already. This press conference without action is useless minister. We are tired of hearing press conference without arresting this criminal

Digitalize documents and give severe consequences for corruption done by employees and lawyers! NOW😢

[lehlohonolomokgata]

Corruption is quite satanic. How does one, steal from the coffers that must help the vulnerable. Worst still, steal from the same victims. 😢😢😢

[anticorrup-go]

All the best SIU. Minister Motsoaledi, please nail this rot. Thank you.

[hleziphidhlamini]

Thanx to carte Blanche docu for some of these stories

[musandasikhwivhilu]

So professional people are not trustworthy or is it some? Private Drs, some of course, would write letters to say someone was sick when that person was never treated. VBS was destroyed by accountants from a reputable firm of accounts.

I lost my husban at seshego hospital due to malpractice. There are evil doctors busy taking patience blood by force and make sure they die .i am still afraid to go to the health facilities when i am ill.Our health facilities are horror

[mabaker]

That explains why this "doctor" is pushing soooo hard for the NHI.... it will be such a lucrative cookie jar to raid for their own needs...

[IOSALive]

SABC News, your videos light up my day

[Ridiculous-]

The crooks are crapping themselves, we can smell it in durban 😂😂😂😂

[CHOOSEGODCHOOSELIFE]

These unscrupulous lawyers have no conscience, and they hate their country! People need to know that it's not really the state that pays these claims, it's the taxpayers. We all suffer the consequences.

[AlternativPerspectiv]

At what point will the cadres be held accountable?
Announcing theft like you are the heroes has been happening for years. Everything he announced was presided over by the outgoing minister and the one before him. What are the consequences on THEM? The taxpayer was, and co tinues to be punished because it's the taxpayer's money. What punishment is there for the minister? or the president, or the MECs?

You can't just announce and act like heroes when you are the ones stealing and the ones not arresting anyone. Right away the first person should be arrested and that's the minister who allowed things to happen. Then we can investigate.

The victim in all this is not hte state. The state has no money. The victim is the taxpayer.

[husainalli]

Mlungu think up some crazy plans to get free money😂

[RA-oiml]

Like tying the old peoples hands at night when they are in hospitals is that adverse events or unethical behaviour😢😢😢😡😡😡😡

[ikpoegee]

Has Phophi Ramathuba said anything concerning this? what of the Dudula movement anything from them yet?
Ramathuba and the Dudula movement should apologize openly for accusing foreigners as the people who are destroying the hospital.
Now the truth is coming out. Polit

[nthabisenglilly]

Now, lawyers stand in hospital's corridors and outside the hospital premises. They then approach discharged patients and promise them quick cash, especially women who just gave birth, families whose relatives just demised, etc. This isn't ethical, and lawyers need to account!
