President Cyril Ramaphosa has slammed "well-to-do, rich people" who criticise his decision to sign into law the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill on Wednesday - 13 days before the May general elections.
"We cannot, and must not, go on with the new South Africa when we still have inequality in some areas of life - and healthcare, which is the most important area of life for anyone, is one area where we need equality. And, believe you me, we are going to have equality, whether people like it or not," he said.
Ramaphosa made the bold remarks at an ANC Progressive Business Forum luncheon in Centurion, South of Pretoria, on Tuesday.
