@nomsaSkhanyile I also think these social media platforms are destroying analytical thought and logic - and the openness to accept argument.

@SongezoZibi This debate reminds me of how people on social media are invested in misunderstanding each other. We all know what a sick note looks like but suddenly sekunezibhilivane ezishoyo ukuthi uphethwe yini

I agree the certificates give no insight in terms of what’s wrong, making them useless to the commission. But then all sick notes are written like that. I’ve never seen one stating an illness. A medical report does, not a sick note for leave of absence.
Newzroom Afrika@Newzroom405

[WATCH] “I noticed that this is one of those medical certificates - the nature of which I have previously said are useless. It’s one of those useless so-called medical certificates,” says Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga about IDAC head Andrea Johnson's sick note. Her appearance at the #MadlangaCommission was postponed because her legal representative said she was rushed to hospital today.

@Mesuli_Mlandu You and I are aligned. I think the witnesses are playing hide and seek but this is hardly the fault of the doctor who receives a patient for the first time. They also can’t break the law to please us who are frustrated with the gaming of the system by dodgy witnesses.

@SongezoZibi I understand the frustration of the Commission. But it would be advisable that it calls for medical reports before dismissing sick notes as "useless" in an environment where confidentiality is the legal norm. Lawyers should know that they are a just a profession like many others.

So people bring detailed sick notes saying “patient vomiting violently with persistent diarrhoea. Also presents symptoms of STI such and such”? And they’re given to your boss for sick leave?
Nibiruan@MarseillesBaby

@SongezoZibi I’ve never had a sick note that doesn’t give an indication of what was wrong with me. Then this surely means that there is no general regulated way of drafting them

Often a walk-in patient presents symptoms which need further tests for diagnosis. All a doctor can report at that stage are the symptoms. It doesn’t mean I believe Andrea Johnson but the expectation that a doctor will have a diagnosis in minutes is ridiculous, especially when the patient most likely exaggerates everything to appear much sicker.

@SongezoZibi You are intentionally being ridiculous, and you know it. I had swine flu last year. My sick note was written ‘swine flu’.

Last election I campaigned actively for @SongezoZibi @Rise_Mzansi. I ran my own phone bank. Of the calls I made, The Ruler’s followers did not want to hear anything from me. Yesterday one called to say she made a mistake, she sees The Ruler differently now and SCOPA is impressive

A brother of mine who happens to a Fighter said to me, “I am disappointed Dabane, la mfo (CIC) is destroying our party”…looking at the TL, ground forces seem to be subdued. I think the principled ones are seeing the seriousness of the revelations at the Madlanga Commission.

First time this happened I asked my fellow sick note writers about this. They were livid, one said Madlanga should go and ask his friends why that is so because it’s them who wanted confidentiality

🤭 Luckily SERI works nationwide and has many cases in Cape Town to protect people from illegal, unconstitutional evictions. Other NGOs like Ndifuna Ukwazi do the same, including winning the Tafelberg case against apartheid spatial planning and giving people access to the city.

Yes because NGOs like SERI suddenly disappear when the City of Cape Town enforces basic by laws, meanwhile the City of Johannesburg can’t even evict and reclaim a hijacked building with shack structures inside without being slapped with an interdict.

Vuyo, you can make your political arguments without lying. There are NGOs, from micro level to international NGOs, that feed people every single day in this country. Instead of actually helping them, you are here attacking them.
Vuyo Zungula MP 🇿🇦@ZungulaVuyo

This humanitarian crisis is ignored by government, NGOs, unions, academics etc coz it affects black South Africans. There are powerful groups that are working to keep as many black South Africans as poor and despondent as possible.
