He called on the relevant authorities to do something about the issue, saying otherwise more lives would be lost and advised that mobile clinics be instituted at affordable prices or even free of charge.
“I feel that something needs to be done about this. Even if I can afford it I think it’s too much (money) and I think they should start putting things in place because it might get worse and we are ready for it,” he added.
Somizi urged President Cyril Ramaphosa to chip in and see to it that something is done in order to make the tests more affordable.
“I think this is where the Department of Health and the Presidency needs to step in and really do something about it because not everyone has access to proper clinics and hospitals and I do not think that people should pay to get tested for something like this,” he said.
