Bad Medical Aid
This is probably the Biggest **** Pulled off by the Former ANC Ministers. It was sold with the idea of affordability; now it's becoming a nightmare and expensive without consultation with members and unions.

22 Apr 2026, 16:36You increased premiums without consultation and followed no due process.The salaries paid to the Executive Authority of Gems is far beyond the norm and yet Gems was supposed to be affordable. Benefits are less,certain doctors charges above medical rates and yet you silent on this also yet we paying massive premiums. I think Gems is a total *******.We being *********ed with a subsidy if we want our own private medical aid.Lets face it Gems is the face of the ANC and somehow they benefit as a political party otherwise this hell bend approach would not be enforced upon us as civil servants.
