Is President Cyril Ramaphosa safe?
It seems like there is drama within the Presidential Medical Unit (PMU), which is controlled by the military’s health service and employs medical professionals who ensure the health and well-being of Heads of State. 👩⚕️
However, Surgeon-General Ntshaveni Maphaha has encountered unexpected resistance in his attempt to remove three members of Ramaphosa’s PMU. The reasons behind this move to transfer the three are nothing short of shocking:
🔹 PMU environmental health officer Masegoame Matshelo was filmed in 2014 eating grass under the instruction of her pastor, the controversial Lesego Daniel. Now, one of the duties of the environmental officers is to make sure the president doesn’t come in contact with food and drinks that could potentially harm him. Should someone who believes a pastor who made people drink petrol handle the president’s food? We wonder.
🔹 The second member, Warrant Officer George Moloisi, is reportedly in Jacob Zuma’s service. It’s not in a weird sleeper agent way, but it’s still odd enough for the Surgeon-General to have requested his transfer. Moloisi was Zuma’s aide during his tumultuous presidency. When Zuma left office and Moloisi was set to be transferred to Ramaphosa, he asked to remain in his position.
🔹 The third member, Lieutenant-Colonel Motshidisi Sehotsane, a medical doctor, has served in the PMU for some years. Despite her experience, she has been operating under a cloud of suspicion following an investigation by the South African Military Health Service (SAMHS) Inspector-General, which found that Sehotsane had been offering medical courses to external personnel for a fee, using SAMHS letterheads and facilities, and allegedly using military transport for this purpose. Her security clearance has also apparently lapsed.
The drama! Despite all of these allegations and revelations, the three’s transfers have been withdrawn, allegedly by a presidential staff member close to Matshelo and Sehotsane. Military police are reportedly investigating Sehotsane.
We hope the president is safe despite having all these questionable staff beside him. We wouldn’t want another poisoning like Andre de Ruyters’ now, would we? Stay safe, Cupcake!
