The Human Rights Commission has come out to defend Immigrants yet again. We know that these are the organization that are always against government when they deal with the issue of illegal foreigners in the country.
They are saying that every person who is in South Africa has the right to receive healthcare services regardless of their status in the country. Illegal foreigners, refugees and asylum seekers and everyone else as long as they are in South Africa, they have the rights to get healthcare services.
The statement by the Human Rights Commission comes after videos have been circulating on social media, where it shows people being turned away because it's believed they do not have documentation. There is another video that also shows a clinic that have fewer patients and it is believed that this is all because illegal foreigners are not allowed to access healthcare.
The SAHRC says that people should not take the law into their own hands and make it difficult for others to access healthcare because of their nationality. It is only home affairs that can be able to check the status of individuals in the country being assisted by the South Africa police. Any other person does not have any authority to do such.
For South Africans to be able to deal with this matter effectively, they need a political party that has a will to amend the Constitution when it comes to this matter. The Constitution is the reason that foreign nationals keep on winning cases against the governmnet in the country, and they will continue to win cases as long as the Constitution still says that South Africa belongs to all those who lives in it.
