WC challenges flaws in NHI Act
September 04, 2025
|Cape Argus
THE Western Cape Government has filed papers with the Constitutional Court to challenge the validity of the recently signed National Health Insurance (NHI) Act, arguing the legislation is unconstitutional.
The province stated this has not gone through the public participation process.
Western Cape Premier Alan Winde and Provincial Health and Wellness Minister Mireille Wenger announced the legal action yesterday, asserting that the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) failed to adequately consult the people of the Western Cape, thereby violating their right to be heard in the lawmaking process.
The papers were filed on Tuesday.
“The NHI is likely one of the most significant and controversial statutes in South African democratic history, yet it was rushed through Parliament with blatant disregard for meaningful public input,” said Minister Wenger.
