DA reconsiders NHI court challenge now that it's in GNU
This afterDA leader John Steenhuisen had criticised President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement that he would sign the NHI Bill into law on Wednesday, 15 May 2024 ahead of the past elections.
However, now with the DA being a part of the GNU which is comprised of 10 parties including the ANC, Steenhuisen has indicated a shift in approach. “I think, at the end of the day, we all want the same thing—universal access to basic healthcare for all South Africans, regardless of economic status,” said Steenhuisen.We just differ on how to get there, and I hope that consensus and collaboration will bring us closer to achieving universal basic healthcare in our lifetime.“We’re going to use all the leverage we have within the GNU. We’re not the only party with concerns about the NHI,” he said.
