ANC Calls For Accountability Over Solly Moholo's Hospital Treatment: A Nation Reacts
- The ANC demands answers regarding the hospital care received by gospel legend Solly Moholo
- The beloved singer contracted a bacterial infection after surgery due to alleged hospital negligence
- Citizens question the ANC's hypocrisy, pointing out that their own policies created the healthcare crisis
Let’s face it—South Africans have grown accustomed to finding humor in the antics of their politicians. But even by those standards, the ANC's latest demand for answers over the hospital treatment of gospel icon Solly Moholo has left many scratching their heads. The irony isn’t lost on anyone: the very party responsible for the crumbling state of public healthcare is now asking questions about its failures.
On social media, citizens are quick to point out that the ANC itself laid the groundwork for the issues plaguing South Africa's hospitals today. It seems almost comical that the same people who ignored years of complaints from patients and healthcare workers are now demanding answers for the same problems they helped create.
ANC Deputy Chief Calls Out for Justice
At the emotional funeral of Solly Moholo, ANC 1st Deputy Secretary General Nomvula Mokonyane stood up to voice her party’s concerns. In a heartfelt speech, she declared that the ANC would not stand idly by as the public healthcare system continues to fail its people. According to Mokonyane, the ANC is actively engaging with Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi and provincial authorities to investigate what went wrong in Moholo’s case.

Mokonyane emphasized that the ANC wants a full report on the events leading up to Moholo’s passing. Beyond that, they also aim to uncover critical details such as the financial burden placed on Moholo’s family and the quality of care provided by the hospital. “We need to know exactly what happened here,” she insisted, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability.
The Struggles of Moholo’s Family
For those closest to Solly Moholo, the challenges faced within the public healthcare system were all too real. His family has been vocal about the struggles they endured, citing a lack of resources, poor hygiene standards, and inadequate facilities as key factors contributing to his untimely death.
In an effort to cover the astronomical medical costs, the family launched a crowdfunding campaign. Despite the generous support from well-wishers, they still find themselves burdened with significant outstanding debts. They recount how Moholo, following his surgery, contracted a bacterial infection due to the unsanitary conditions at the hospital—a preventable tragedy that ultimately claimed his life.
Public Outcry Against ANC Hypocrisy
The ANC’s sudden demand for answers hasn’t gone unnoticed by the South African public, and many aren’t shy about expressing their frustrations. For years, citizens have raised alarms about the deteriorating state of public healthcare, only to be met with deafening silence from the ruling party. Now, as the ANC speaks out, the nation responds with skepticism and disbelief.
Social media users like Tshidiso Monko took to platforms to voice their discontent: “We’ve been complaining to the ANC for years about the poor service in our public hospitals until we gave up. They still haven’t addressed our complaints. Now they complain about something they’ve known all along.”
Others chimed in with similar sentiments. Phezu Matabane lamented the conditions of Gauteng hospitals, stating, “The filth and service in Gauteng hospitals/clinics is so appalling, and it seems there is no premier nor a government.” Meanwhile, Rodrick Scott accused the ANC of self-sabotage, asserting, “ANC should blame itself for the collapse of everything. If this is the case, we should demand answers for every person who dies in a hospital.”

Evangelist Tebogo Modika echoed the sentiment, pointing out, “We should actually be asking for answers from the ANC. They are the ones with the answers.” And TK Vee couldn’t resist pointing out the irony: “The same ANC who failed to resolve the issue of our hospitals in the last 30 years? Hayi nooo.”
