He ought to understand. They overlook South African Doctors, don`t provide them with PPE and praise Cubans. Our government overlook South Africans, they don`t employ them and prefer outsourcing, it is the same with nurses, engineers etc.

Why didn't they just call upon doctors from SA who studied in Cuba? They must know what the Cuban doctors know 🤷‍♂️ eish I forgot that thinking and the ANC are not in the same WhatsApp group 🤦‍♂️

Covid-19 has a very clear timeline. +- 24 months till mass roll-out of a vaccine in SA. Government HealthZA PresidencyZA KhuselaS DrZweliMkhize acts as though the virus is going disappear before year end. This is not good!

Bad PR, gone wrong. The arrival of the doctors shouldn't have been hyped-up. They should have just come, and did their jobs quietly, just like how the other hundreds of valued Cuban doctors in our rural/township hospitals arrived. The hype caused a questioning of US$ cost

Wow, 23 Cuban slaves are infected with CoronaVirus lol. We're paying them for nothing

South Africans do not have issues with the Cubans, but the corrupt government. Now they classify the corruption taking place in the name of th epidemic

Even the ones positive for covid -19?

Just the minutes of the meeting, nothing but the minutes of the meeting... zolgate
