Both Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy Gwede Mantashe and Minister of Employment and Labour Thulas Nxesi have disputed reports that they have been admitted in private hospitals for Covid-19 treatment, but insisted that they were currently in public facilities.
The minister read several signs over the phone to prove that indeed he was in a public hospital that was operated by the Gauteng department of health in Pretoria. Nxesi’s office on Wednesday evening contacted The Citizen to say the minister was also in a public hospital in Pretoria where he was admitted after testing positive for Covid-19.
Nxesi was also hospitalised after he was advised by his doctor to go to hospital. Both ministers are known to suffer from diabetes, which put them at high risk.
