Foreign nationals blocked from accessing healthcare services by Rosettenville residents! Some community members in Rosettenville, in southern Johannesburg, are staging a protest blocking foreign nationals from accessing healthcare services.
There have been multiple protests of a similar nature across the metro in several clinics for about a week.
Community members said South Africans must be prioritized because resources are limited for citizens.
Foreign nationals blocked
Several residents are at the Rosettenville Clinic entrance, standing as guards.
All patients who come to get help from the facility are stopped and asked for documentation, or they are asked to speak their mother tongue to determine if they are South Africans.
“One foreign national has one ID document for about 20 people. Or they make their documentation from internet cafés? We need to put South Africans first,” said protester Ndiphiwe Mdebuka.
Mdebuka said they will continue to block entry until they are heard.
