Isivumelwano Sokucela Izicelo Kungenzeka Sidalule Inkohlakalo Esezingeni Eliphezulu

UMatlala, owayephethe i-Medicare24, uvumile ukuthi wafumbathisa izikhulu zamaphoyisa eziphezulu ukuze athole inkontileka ka-R360 million ngo-2024. Isivumelwano sakhe sokuvuma icala, esilinde ukuqinisekiswa yimantshi, sidinga ukuthi anikeze ubufakazi ngokumelene nabantu abanamandla ngaphakathi kwenkonzo yamaphoyisa.
