Chair, I would like to thank the Deputy Minister and would like to ask the question as to why a military hospital has been built on private premises at Nkandla for an exclusive group of people - those within the tender embrace of President Zuma - at the expense of services to the poor in the neighbouring villages.
I believe that there are areas like Emasangweni Amnyama, Bizimali, Qhudeni, Melmoth and Kranskop with large populations that have no health facilities at all or are serviced by one community clinic, yet they are close to Nkandla, which has state-of-the-art medical facilities. Surely this is contrary to our democratic dispensation when all people are meant to have access to good health. Surely we do not want to continue and perpetuate this inequality of health care.
