💨 Abstract

The Gauteng Health MEC, Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko, has urged against xenophobia in hospitals, clarifying that some illegal foreigners do pay for services, contrary to popular belief. She emphasized that it is unconstitutional to deny healthcare to anyone, regardless of their documentation status. Nkomo-Ralehoko's statement comes amidst growing tensions between anti-illegal immigration groups and healthcare providers in South Africa.
