Pap and Politics Episode 8 | Dr Pakishe Aaron Motsoaledi


Pap & Politics is a podcast that unpacks the stories behind the stories, while also getting to know them a little better. It’s current affairs with a twist: insightful, unexpected, and just the right amount of cheek.

South Africa’s public healthcare system is the backbone of care for millions, but it’s also facing serious challenges. From overwhelmed facilities and staffing shortages to infrastructure gaps and patient backlogs, the pressure is visible across the country.

This Week on Pap & Politics, Thabo Baloyi sits down with the man at the helm, Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi to unpack the real state of public healthcare today. The minister also speaks about the contentious National Health Insurance Scheme and why he thinks it’s been on the receiving end of criticism.
