President Cyril Ramaphosa has told Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi to engage with organisations about the NHI after he refused to answer questions in Parliament.
The president revealed this while answering questions during a National Council of Provinces plenary on Thursday.
“Minister Motsoaledi took a very belligerent stance, in spite of your indication that you were open to discussions and in spite of widespread concerns regarding the NHI,” Pienaar told Ramaphosa in Parliament on Thursday. “To the extent that you may well have heard Motsoaledi, I want to assure you that he is one of those ministers who is open to engagement, to listening, and to talking.”
