Civil society organisations and political parties are threatening legal action , saying Ramaphosa must return to the drawing board and work with various industry experts to design a workable, universal health care model.Last week he signed the  Electoral Matters Amendment Bill which sees a change in the political party funding formula, the Preventing and Combating of Hate Crimes and Hate Speech Bill. These have also been met with concern. Another bill that awaits the President's assent is the Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill (BELA Bill)..It is now exactly eleven days before the elections, some have raised concerns about the timing of the signing of the bills.  To unpack this Udo Carelse spoke to Professor Sethulego Matebesi , Sociologist from the University of the Free State
