The DA must box clever with NHI

It was to be expected that, sooner or later, the main parties in the government of national unity (GNU) would butt heads. After all, oil and water do not mix... and the socialist policies of the ANC don't gel at all with the capitalist direction favoured by the DA.

The ANC and DA have reportedly recently clashed in Cabinet over the National Health Insurance (NHI), which is of critical importance to both parties in terms of the promises they made to their voters.

The ANC has made Utopian vows to its supporters that they can, for free, enjoy the same sophisticated medical services offered by the private sector and to those with medical aid.
