Health says Motsoaledi's roadshows are personal initiative
PRETORIA - The Health Department says Minister Aaron Motsoaledi's NHI roadshows are his own personal initiative.
The Deputy Director General for NHI, Nicholas Crisp, says Motsoaledi also has obligations in his capacity as an ANC member, but was mum on whether the department is footing the bill.

Some opposition parties and business organisations are criticising the move.
The DA says the roadshows are a tool to force stakeholders to adopt NHI, despite reservations.
