“Collen Sedibe is a drunkard and he should stop accusing me”- Pholoso Mbatsane
Economic Freedom Fighters(EFF) provincial leader, Collen Sedibe accused African National Congress Youth League Secretary, Pholoso Mbatsane's company of providing one slice of bread and a glass of water daily to Themba Hospital patients.
The Department of Health issued out a statement dismissing claims made by EFF leader, Collen Sedibe after he posted on Facebook alleging that patients at Themba Hospital are fed one slice of bread and a glass of water once a day.
The department stated that Sedibe is misleading the public with false information. “Pholoso Mbatsane is not contracted to serve meals for patients at Themba hospital. A service provider was appointed but it is not Pholoso. The EFF leader is trying to score political votes by publishing false allegations just to try and tarnish the good work of government. The department would like to assure the public that patients at Themba hospital are provided meals three times a day. No complaints have been received or forwarded to the us regarding the matter,” reads the statement.

When contacted for comment, Mbatsane simply responded, ” There is nothing like that because I do not have a contract with the hospital. The last time I checked I was contracted with the nursing college. Collen is just a drunkard and right now he is not even taking my calls. He should get his facts straight and stop accusing me.”
Sedibe is adamant that Mbatsane is the service provider and claims he is monopolising the system. “I can refer you to patients at the hospital as well as their relatives if you do not believe me. He is robbing the hospital and we have raised this issue with the MEC,” he said.
