How sadly typical that rather than keeping medicine and the peoples' medical requirements in the forefront of the Health Department, this Minister and her boss, prefer to keep themselves and their personal vendettas, theories and assumed personal slights in the headlines.

It is high time that the ANC government started selecting MEPs and other high profile political figures on their qualifications, eihics, professional capabilities and mannerism, rather than their personal claim for celebrity! In addition to this, both of these women should be well enough educated to realise that their playing the "Racist" card is not only fraudulent but also does the country immense harm and communicates to the world that racism is alive and well in SA, even though it is now being practised by those who previously MAY HAVE BEEN it's victims!

Wake up SA, this is NOT the way to go!

In addition, should this investigation that Ms.Nkonyeni has requested, prove that her statements and accusations are incorrect, unfounded or untrue - SHE should be responsible for footing the bill of the investigation. This no longer appears to be a Health Issue but rather a personal vendetta, and personal vendetta should not be funded by tax payers' monies.

South Africans need to acquire the habit of holding their politicians accountable and responsible. This investigation seems irresponsible and unfounded especially in light of the statement prepared by Dr. Immelman. If this turns out to be true, Ms. Nkonyeni needs to realise that other than being accountable for her statements against the good doctor, she will also be responsible for paying for her 'witch-hunt'. We all understand lessons which involve our own pocket-book - let us make sure that she too learns this lesson!
