Mkhize's Digital Vibes controversy raises alarm for NHI rollout - Sama
Share
Corruption in the national Department of Health and the recent allegations against Minister Zweli Mkhize and the Digital Vibes debacle, cast doubts on the departmentâs ability to effectively manage large-scale projects, including the future rollout of National Health Insurance (NHI).
The South African Medical Association (Sama) said on Thursday that the development surrounding Mkhize has far reaching consequences for health provision in the country, and casts a cloud on plans to roll out NHI.
Earlier this week, President Cyril Ramaphosa placed Zweli Mkhize on special leave to attend to the allegations of corruption, around a R150 million communications tender awarded to a company linked to a close associate of the minister.
