The ANC has received a lot of criticism from the public for appointing older members into senior party positions.
What are your thoughts on the matter?The ANC should not appoint people over the age of 65 years oldI think the ANC actually has more than enough young leadersIt’s important to appoint older people because they have more experience
WitnessKZN And it cannot absorb all its recently trained doctors. There are several graduates sitting at home without work. How will they eke up their lives when they have no jobs. What is the Minister doing for them?
WitnessKZN Please, ask other patriotic political parties to propose a legislation that will ensure that there is job preservation for South Africans. It will ensure that citizens are preferred and no quota should be used when it comes to citizens
WitnessKZN Then they go and terminate contracts of 91 junior doctors in the Eastern Cape. Nx
WitnessKZN How can you have a shortage of doctors with 30%+ unemployment? Just go to Khayelitsha or Alexandra town and give the Nyaope smokers lab courts to start working as doctors. DHA removed doctors from the list of critical skills.

WitnessKZN the country will stay a developing country due to the fact that we still elect individuals who were in apartheid protecting the country,and they will keep stealing the countrys money for as long as they feel like we owe them.
WitnessKZN the day South Africans realise that a criteria is needed in order to select an individual in power,and just before the election takes place,we need campaigns lead by potential candidates so we have a brief understanding of how the country will be run by the then selected candidat

WitnessKZN Sebafuna ukuyolanda abangani babo eCuba
WitnessKZN Sebefuna ukulanda ama'Dr. ase'Cuba 😂😂
WitnessKZN This guy is confused. Surely he knows there are many unemployed doctors. Also only so many doctors are allowed to study. In some cases they don't allow you to specialize. Some people have to go overseas if they want to specialize.
Leon_Schreib WitnessKZN Who fault is that ANC racist policies.
WitnessKZN News 24 at it again hai these people useless maan!
WitnessKZN There is enough money to fill all the posts if the administrators , cadres and politicians stopped stealing it and killing the whistle blowers.
WitnessKZN The lies our Ministers tell🤦🏾♂️ they should write a new Bible 📖
WitnessKZN Start valuing doctors, pay them well , don’t exploit them, give them adequate equipment and infrastructure. There are qualified doctors sitting at home but you won’t employ because it means less money for them to exploit!
WitnessKZN Mos i see unemployed graduates all thd time plus tax debits never bounce
WitnessKZN The lies these people cook up
WitnessKZN Problem is they don't advertise jobs or people don't know where these available jobs are advertised. They create the barrier themselves while there are a lot of unemployed graduates
WitnessKZN This Government doesn't know what's happening lana eMzansi period 😡😡. Lamakhehla nezalukazi yerrr 😡
WitnessKZN There's a critical shortage because they don't hire! There are no posts being generated.
WitnessKZN We all can't be what we dream of being.. it's all well and good to want to study medicine, to want to be a doctor especially in a country that needs doctors but when the majority of the country is still voting the way they are.. your dream is not enough.
WitnessKZN Voetsek
WitnessKZN Some SA doctors got their degrees with 30% passes. The gvt doesn't want 'try and error' on its pple That's why they favor Zimbabwean and Indian doctors.
WitnessKZN This government is a scam.
WitnessKZN Bullshit, SA has a critical shortage of posts for doctors. The money for employing doctors is stolen and therefor cannot employ doctors.
WitnessKZN But there are so many unemployed medics...why not hire them HealthZA ?
WitnessKZN My is a fully graduate doctor and still unemployed but our minister is lying to the world

WitnessKZN creating the idea of shortage to make the Cuban doctors thing, a NEED.
WitnessKZN It's either the government is broke or it's laundering taxpayers money. I'm sure there's a lot of unemployed professional doctors out there.
WitnessKZN Rubbish
WitnessKZN No reg posts available, insanely under resourced facilities, not enough nurses, too many patients, sky high malpractice insurance premiums. It's a mess and there's no accountability for the misappropriated funds. It's a mess in SA and Ireland is gladly taking our drs.
WitnessKZN They want to bring doctors from Cuba, these ones.
WitnessKZN Madness I tell you!. My friend who’s a qualified Dr is an EA. 😠
WitnessKZN South African media write crap, they love to see South African jobs taken foreigners So much for stupid Zimbabwean News editors
WitnessKZN Why is it described as less than 1 doctor for 1000 patients rather than over 1000 patients per doctor? Seems weird
WitnessKZN You just pushing narrative so that we clap hands when Cuban doctors come into a fake rescue while ANC officials are busy with money laundering. Siyahlanyelwa ngampela la, qashani izingane ezihleli emakhaya zikhona siyazazi!
WitnessKZN We see on tv very often that we have many unemployed SAn doctors that the government doesn’t place. If the MYANC stops stealing, there will be funds to employ these doctors.
WitnessKZN What does fewer than 1 doctor mean? 🤔
WitnessKZN South Africa is a shit hole. I was witnessing the intake of nurses in the Free State; some of them were foreigners.
WitnessKZN Don't trust Joe, he knows nothing but Covid

WitnessKZN He is lying. We have enough Doctors in this country.
WitnessKZN Whilst a friend of mine in Bloem prematurely had to start a practice because there is currently no posts/vacancies. Strange.
WitnessKZN It’s always “we have a shortage” never “we have created posts” y’all suck.
WitnessKZN Yet we have unemployed doctors. SA is a joke.
WitnessKZN That's what was said about artisans Now everyone have a red seal with no job
WitnessKZN
WitnessKZN Next thing they privatize all hospitals/clinics and people will die because they won't afford a consultation 🚮
WitnessKZN I can tell you now that this is a lie we have a lot of Doctors but this government is just useless
WitnessKZN So solution is to hire them permanently
MbuyiseniNdlozi WitnessKZN Let's stop hiding behind our fingers and send our teachers to other countries to get proper training. We reduced our pass mark to 30% that person can become a teacher and teach what? Or gvt should subsidies Cambridge education in gvt schools.
MbuyiseniNdlozi WitnessKZN ANC AND THEIR RACIST BEE POLICIES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHORTAGE.

WitnessKZN Combination of so much that has sadly gone so wrong.
WitnessKZN Correction; there’s a shortage of posts for doctors. We are qualifying enough doctors.
WitnessKZN Drs: I want to specialize so I’ll stay in public Public: lol,sorry. We don’t have any posts/posts are frozen/we won’t advertise posts/no funds Drs: to earn an income,I better go into private then Twitter: tHeRe iS a ShOrTaGe oF dRs cAuSe tHeY doNt wAnt to wOrk iN PuBLiC
WitnessKZN I don't think so 🤔 😧 maybe they meant a shortage of yt doctors 🤷🏻♂️
WitnessKZN To be fair, there is a shortage of doctors world wide. Pay them more.
WitnessKZN This statement needs to be qualified. There is need to identify the geographical and skills areas in which there are shortages. An assessment from a public or private sector perspective & to look at the unemployment rate of Doctors? Are referring to GPs or specialists
WitnessKZN I wonder why?🙄
WitnessKZN
WitnessKZN Please can get facts right. THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS. There are lots of qualified doctors WHO DO NOT HAVE POSTS. The truth: THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF POSTS for doctors in SA. Why? Because there is not enough funding to pay new doctors, and we ALL know why that is!
WitnessKZN That R50 million they're trying to give to Cuba, they'll always find a way. This is it.
WitnessKZN Lies! There are plenty of doctors. 😡
WitnessKZN SA has a critical shortage of competent ministers.
WitnessKZN your lying, the minister said we have more than enough. issue is paying them. we produce sufficient number. get your research in order and stop spreading lies.
KwenFaith WitnessKZN This doesn't make sense because few months ago doctors were complaining the the government doesn't want to hire them.
WitnessKZN Let’s be clear, we do not have a shortage of doctors in this country. South African doctors are some of the best in the world! It’s due to incompetence in government that we don’t have the funds to pay them. This was during covid -
WitnessKZN This is shocking the situation at HelenJosephHos is disgraceful 😡. Casualty patients & mentally ill patients are mixed it’s a complete nightmare. We waited 13 hours to see the doctor got my 74 year mom
WitnessKZN 1 to 1000 😂 this n***ga is smoking that COVID-19 dose 🚬 WTF?
WitnessKZN Foreigners’ ability to make everything that happens in SA about them is honestly the only rare skill they bring to this country Saw some tweets about this being because SA refuses to use them after they trained here,what about the SA unemployed Drs
WitnessKZN That's lies most Dr's have got surgeries
WitnessKZN Where are those from Cuba.
WitnessKZN With thousands of qualified doctors unemployed either sitting at home or emigrating, SA definitely does not have a shortage of doctors. SA has a critical shortage of competence in government. As simple as that.
WitnessKZN CyrilRamaphosa why do we have unemployed medical doctors? MYANC why do we make entry to medical studies so impossible? DDMabuza why do you only see Russian doctors? LindiweSisuluSA why do you prefer Cuban medical staff? RemoveANC2024 ShameOnYou voetsekANC
WitnessKZN Doctors are crying everyday for posts to be unfrozen. And for working conditions to improve. The looters of state funds and poor administration are to blame.
WitnessKZN MYANC are brilliant at stating the obvious and doing it 10 years too late.
WitnessKZN We don't have shortage of doctors, we have immigration crises, deport many medical refugees and parasites, you will see.
WitnessKZN Recently doctors out of university or college government refused to employ them of which by now might have been employed. Why can't doctors be employed? Dont talk about budget because we talk about live here hence guaranteed in constitution.
WitnessKZN Business case to bring CUBA specialists

WitnessKZN How does this guy who is selling individuals sleep at night. He probably has a drug pharmacy at home with sleeping pills. You can't do what he is doing and still enjoy sleeping.
WitnessKZN You fired about 800 Doctors and Nurses in March then come here to cry 'shortage'...hogwash GovernmentZA HealthZA
WitnessKZN But the South African universities won't give the students who returned from the Ukraine a chance. Doesn't make sense
WitnessKZN Here goes the cuban tenders….
WitnessKZN but no budget to hire unemployed doctors😐😏 Free State has critical shortage of teachers too, budget is there but no teacher wanna go work there😶😶 Doctors, teachers & nurses should not be looking for jobs, submitting CVs, they should work through deployment like soldiers
WitnessKZN Your own fault, your universities don’t admit the students who qualify on merit, you train to few anyway, you don’t do anything to retain those who are eventually trained and qualify. Just like teachers, artisans and technical people. A disaster of your own making !
WitnessKZN
WitnessKZN Why wouldn't there be a shortage when they are kicking out foreigners.
WitnessKZN They wanna hire more from Cuba. 😁😁😊
WitnessKZN Why is Joe Phaahla lamenting a shortage of doctors? Wasnt it him+his colleagues in govt who have directed Home Affairs to stop foreigners (skilled & unskilled) from getting work permits? May the shortage continue in Jesus' name. Amen!
WitnessKZN Your answers are in admission criteria on university such as UKZN
WitnessKZN If Mali a yo tirha hi mfanelo ingi hi nga ri na swiphiqo
WitnessKZN They want to employ Cuban Dr's. Why were interns not paid for three months? 😕
WitnessKZN They should have allowed me to study medicine with my 'zama zama' matric results... Ngabe asikho la
WitnessKZN Introduce the NHI and it will 5000 drs per patient. But you fools don't have the brain power to realise this. Political agenda is all you can think of. God help us!!!
WitnessKZN In sure those with Biology degrees can be trained for a good 4 years, then boom problem solved.
WitnessKZN Who would want to work under this idiot who ignores medical advice, Dismisses expert opinion, creates ridiculous legislation and states mandates are over when he says so.. And complains about shortage when there are plenty unemployed! Budgets squandered!
WitnessKZN Kant health minster a se Mkhize
There are people who seem to think that austerity politics will only affect poor people. I have long pointed out to the reactionary black middle class professionals employed by the state they will eventually be impacted.
WitnessKZN cartierrez save us
WitnessKZN And who’s fault is it?
WitnessKZN More Universities gotta offer medicine, and they also have to take the study requirments a bit down
WitnessKZN HloniBookholane
WitnessKZN They flee the NHI..
WitnessKZN There are a lot of graduates without placement. Come on for real?
WitnessKZN That's what you get if your system is shit and no one wants to work for you... If the environment is bad good people leave.
WitnessKZN Hmm Almost if our wacky policies are driving professionals away 🥲
WitnessKZN Well what do you expect. They left for better opportunities
WitnessKZN And we wonder f... why!!! Viva..Viva
WitnessKZN But Aron says Medicine is not a critical skill!!!
WitnessKZN There will never be enough doctors to service the whole of Africa.
WitnessKZN : GOVERNMENT MUST ASK THEMSELF WHY THY RUN SHORT OF DOCTORS government thinnk thy clever but in hole thy most stupid people I ever seen
WitnessKZN Just call Cuba.
WitnessKZN Because government is chasing all the doctors away, you fools!
WitnessKZN Haibo we see year in year out graduates of doctors from all these medical school, we are fools hire those people and pay them well qha, oh another thing influx of foreigners into our hospitals hence a ratio of 1/1000, yall want to get drs from the other country we see you
WitnessKZN I don’t think SA has shortages of doctors, the Drs in SA don’t want to work for the government, they prefer being their own bosses as a general practitioner because their they are in full control of their time and make more money from your medical aid.
WitnessKZN Rubbish ANC is trying to bring Cuban Doctors in replacement of 50Million
WitnessKZN Wanyela o..... o yena wanyela
WitnessKZN He must say he wants to bring more Cubans and stop lying!
WitnessKZN Substance abuse by minister.
WitnessKZN Wasn’t the government laying off Doctors a few months ago? Didn’t we read about unemployed Doctors pleading for jobs? Why nixoka? Could it be perhaps that we have a shortage of funds to pay Doctors
WitnessKZN Few medical universities that has few intake of students yearly, also gvt does not even employ doctors mus
WitnessKZN No Minister, Its not only about shortage of Doctors even those that are placed in various Hospitals, they dont respect their work, they drinking during working hours, and careless about patients when they final get to work, especial in public hospitals.
WitnessKZN Yes but why - its because White South Africans can not become dr. if the EEA is not followed by univercities - Talk the truth, you rather loose the “know how, we don’t stike over petty crap” because of skin colour!!! thats the reason South Africa is falling apart.
KwenFaith WitnessKZN Yet we have doctors sitting at home without jobs... 🙄
WitnessKZN We do not have a shortage of doctors, we have a shortage of brain in the Dept of health. You cannot have doctors sitting at home becos there is no budget and then have Digital Vibes. And then Cuban doctors.... the inadequacy is not in the Dr numbers shem guys.
WitnessKZN DrLekwati why can’t they give jobs Kante?
WitnessKZN It is a lie - I have relatives and friends SA Dr s unemployed 🙆🏽
WitnessKZN Maybe because everyone is immigrating and giving their taxes to countries who actually spend it on the citizens
WitnessKZN Fake news, the government does not have enough funds to hire doctors in the public sector. We have doctors in this country
WitnessKZN You said this about engineering... Then everyone went on to study engineering only to sit at home. Mxm😤
WitnessKZN This is an insult to us as citizens of this country!
WitnessKZN Lies!!!
WitnessKZN And？

WitnessKZN leoanehlologelo
WitnessKZN Yet they cancelled intern contracts all over 😤😤😤😤
WitnessKZN The ANC plan. Qualify more doctors by lowering standards.....
WitnessKZN You don’t pay them! Then our government appoints people who are not even professionals to lead professionals. I’ll also leave SA 😫💔
WitnessKZN South African health system is unnecessary overloaded with foreigners who from their respective countries, are generally required to pay for treatment, and exploit public services of SA,which allowed them to access free medical help .It's the government that fails the system
WitnessKZN I'm sure SA have more Doctors but they lack experience maybe same as truck drivers all security guards they got licences but lack experience so the department's are afraid hiring unexperienced staff
WitnessKZN 🧢
WitnessKZN Then we are led by fools
WitnessKZN And he is surprised?
WitnessKZN Yet there is a limited if less that 1100 doctors intake a year. We have disappointment for leadership in our country. This is a person who should be saying 'We have identified this problem and this is what we have implemented ever since I took office'
WitnessKZN 🤔😹😹😹😹😹
WitnessKZN While we have 10 000 unemployment Drs. I think this is just a plan to sell this country. Someone said there's shortage of foundation base teachers. I think some criminal syndicates captured some senior people in and outside government to sell this nonsensical narrative
WitnessKZN What about all the newly qualified doctors who were looking for work?
WitnessKZN Amanga lawa fanele bayeke lento ngoba befuna ukuqasha ama foreigners mxm nonsense

WitnessKZN They said South Africa has a shortage of teachers,just yesterday alone KZN said they have 31000 unemployed teachers Dr Aaron Motsoaledi said he removed Doctors from the Critical Skills list because he was minister of the health department and there is no shortage of doctors
WitnessKZN No shortage my love. So many DOCTORS out there. What's the motive... What story is cooking? More Cuban Drs? What is south Africa benefiting from Cuban drs
WitnessKZN I don't believe this at all😂 Where are those doctors who were unemployed asking government to employ them. The government is not hiring becoz there is no money. Either lost through corruption and just not budgeted. Those permanent are required to do DOUBLE the job
WitnessKZN We already know this. Queueing up for a doctor when your child is really unwell has got to be the worst thing ever.
WitnessKZN They have all immigrated
WitnessKZN “Most of our socio- economic problems in SA are created by the people tasked to solve them.”

EmbassyCubaZA
WitnessKZN Neurosurgeons are the worst😭😭😭. 1 neurosurgeon treats approximately 600 000 South Africans 😭😭😭. Bursaries must fund more Medical students to curb this.
WitnessKZN We honestly need to start arresting or taking lump sums of money from people's pensions becuase clearly someone is not doing their job and that time they took an oath
WitnessKZN Then how come some doctors were laid off this year because government has no money ?
WitnessKZN The ANC chased them all away to New Zealand with a big stick called BBBEE
WitnessKZN ANC is pandemic
WitnessKZN There are many unemployed doctors because the government doesn’t have money to pay them.

WitnessKZN GovernmentZA don’t patronise us when the country has unemployed doctors sitting at home in the 100’s DrMkhize4
WitnessKZN But there are unemployed doctors everywhere so employ them
WitnessKZN I thought they couldn’t place doctors last year - no room for new graduates? Seriously does anyone actually know what the hell they are doing
WitnessKZN ANC want o steal something or to bring another batch of Conan Dr following the fall out of R50mil donation.
WitnessKZN We don't have a shortage of doctors, we simply cannot fund the new intake of doctors. There fixed it for you.
WitnessKZN My child wanted to study medicine but was not accepted because he is white. So sorry for you to here about your problems. Starts with a proper student selecting process and you might end up with enough doctors
WitnessKZN Well stop chasing them away , stop putting quotas on varsity entrants...
WitnessKZN Didn’t they retrench a bunch of Drs at Bara recently citing overcrowding or something?
WitnessKZN Remove the foreign and you will see 1 will jave 200 patience
WitnessKZN Lmaooo there are no shortages of doctors in this country. There is a clear lack of will to train, mentor, develop and unleash a surplus of qualified doctors to the public sector because of the politics of the day & supposed 'budget constraints'.
WitnessKZN Then effing employ our 100's of Doctors that can't get jobs because of BBBBEE!! But I guess you'll get in effing Cubans!!
WitnessKZN I guess more Cubans on their way then 🤣
WitnessKZN hope ANC govt + policy makers are proud of themselves-they’ve created this with BEE, quotas etc, not allowing many whitecoloured children wanting to study medicine into course! know of 3rd generation drs’ kids with full distinctions refused at all varsities in SA! Crime! Corrupt!
WitnessKZN We always get told about the problems and that something must be done about it but have you noticed they never let us know what they doing to do about it or fix it. It's the same kak over and over year after year. We know there is a problem. Fix it already
WitnessKZN Voetsek, there are many doctors unemployed

Collen_KM WitnessKZN There are many unemployed doctors, hence the shortage
WitnessKZN Mara aba ba patele...

WitnessKZN I seem to vividly remember some doctors being let go🤔
WitnessKZN And we want to roll out an NHI programme? Surely this cannot happen. The most productive people in the country cannot be left to depend on an unproductive government.
WitnessKZN But Gauteng and Eastern Cape department of health couldn't hire doctors and nurses mos, i have now come to a conclusion that everything gov says should not be taken seriously, people should rather look elsewhere information.
WitnessKZN Njani?
WitnessKZN Main issue: politicians should never be paid more than doctors, surgeons and health workers. They literally save lives. Politicians literally ruin lives. All of them. Especially the ones on charge arlt the moment.
WitnessKZN Joe Phaahla since he got to this ministry he lies a lot.
WitnessKZN Are all South African doctors employed?
WitnessKZN Okay....what are they doing about it?
WitnessKZN True, because the MYANC refuses to maintain the Hospitals, Doctors work their ass off and you give them the finger U fucked up our country so how bout this, start acting instead of setting up committees & task teams. You govern by corrupt task teams
WitnessKZN You should register with the HPCSA all the qualified doctors wanting to work here that you have shunned. And I am not talking Cubans.
WitnessKZN Over 30% of the total budget goes to the government sectors unproductive employees for salaries and wages. It’s bloated. Get rid of the rubbish and help the unemployed doctors so that they can help the sick.
WitnessKZN Lies and lies

WitnessKZN What nonsense is this 🙆😅
WitnessKZN THE RESULTS OF THE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION NAMELY THE ANC IN GOVERNMENT. BIASED RACE BASED SELECTION OF APPLICANTS TO STUDY MEDICINE.
WitnessKZN Maybe if all our doctors stayed in this country and it was easier for non black students to get bursaries to study we won't have a shortage
WitnessKZN Ngake ngezwa k'thiwa kukhona abangaqashiwe nje?
WitnessKZN Why does this sound like another excuse to bring Cuban Drs?

WitnessKZN The government cant look after their resources. I can understand why state hospitals look the way they do. Thats easy, corruption.... but how can the government expect doctors to work in these conditions and then patients to be treated in filth.
WitnessKZN We all know this as the government now wanting to bring in Cuban doctors instead of hiring our own people
WitnessKZN Hmmm wonder why?
WitnessKZN Ukraine & Isreal doctors are coming to SA.....yet Cubans doctors were a problem🤔🤔🤔🤔
WitnessKZN We have many qualified doctors sitting at home because of the failure of the department to place them at different hospitals
WitnessKZN Yet we continue have unemployed Doctors, Pharmacists and other HCW. This has been happening for a while now.
WitnessKZN I agree our medical staff are overworked. Do away with quota system colour should not have anything to do with it . Pay your doctors and nurses better then they won’t go overseas . Get the hospitals up to standard and to the citizens STOP stealing and vandalising
WitnessKZN So you want to validate/ endorse getting doctors from Cuba or anywhere else. We have qualified medical students who have not been placed because you say there's no space. There was a protest by those young doctors not so long ago! PutSouthAfricanFirst
WitnessKZN Because you chased away all good well educated whites.
WitnessKZN He and his ‘comrades’ can f*ck off what does the ANC expect when they’ve destroyed everything in this country and it’s not even safe 2walk down the vandalized streets . Those that have the means and education and need a future for themselves & their kids r leaving this war zone
WitnessKZN If the government employees & bosses did their jobs without funds disappearing there would be more money for education, universities = more doctors! Crime has se t doctors to other countries, now you're crying!
WitnessKZN And engineers? Engineers save more lives than drs, SA drs only want Twitter clout, they don’t care about their jobs, so whatever ThomasKagisho and his incompetent colleagues would rather demand lockdown. According to them, it’s better to die of hunger than die of a fake virus
WitnessKZN Lies. They just want to bring em Cuban Drs ka style
WitnessKZN South Africa has many south African doctor graduates but who are still unemployed because of nepotism and bribe. People out there got skills and knowledge I've never seen a country like our own undermining it's own people who actually capable of doing good.
WitnessKZN The Cuban transfer has begun
WitnessKZN Lies, South Africa has doctors in private practice and some are at home, the conditions to which government makes them work under is the problem not shortage of professionals.
WitnessKZN Those who are saying unemployed young doctors. Most of these young unemployed doctors do not want to work in rural areas. Hence why they take time to find work. They refuse posts.
WitnessKZN No surprise there, nothing left here only looting and destruction. Country is a mess
WitnessKZN But but transformation mos
WitnessKZN Young Doctors were protesting not so long ago about not being placed on hospitals so where is the shortage
KhofuMoahloli WitnessKZN HealthZA get SA newly qualified Dr's to work and stop annoying us with useless information.
WitnessKZN And qualified doctors can’t find placement? What’s going on here
WitnessKZN Is it a budget issue or lack of skills?
WitnessKZN They don't want to hire, it's a crisis in all government health facilities
WitnessKZN Is because they don’t have money to pay salaries
WitnessKZN Lies
WitnessKZN Deport amd refuse medical treatment to all illegal foreigners and Drs won't be this overwhelmed
WitnessKZN Stop lies...this is a ruse to import cubans... In light of shortage why arent doctors who completed studies in China not being registered in SA... This Black government created this problem. .with BEE
WitnessKZN So all graduates who are qualified as doctors in SA are employed ne..
WitnessKZN What joe meant was they dont have money to hire them
WitnessKZN New Dawn
WitnessKZN So let's give government more control through the NHI when they fail to manage what they have even now
WitnessKZN They are probably trying to hire more Cuban doctors to launder money. 🤔
WitnessKZN And the ANC will continue to limit the white medical students applications to study medicine. I ask with tears in my eyes why why why 😡
WitnessKZN Not true I know many doctors who want to join government but dololo
WitnessKZN I know dozens of white doctors, fully qualified, who cannot get jobs in state hospitals, rural or other, literally dozens and a dozen more who have left for Ireland. Not because they wanted to but because the state doesn't want them. I'm willing to make a sworn affidavit
WitnessKZN What kak this guy is speaking shortage of doctors How many doctors is waiting for job placement in the country. What is this guy smoking
WitnessKZN The story of every year. Well, what do you expect when the universities have ridiculous quotas for the number of doctors that can be trained per year? So many young people who want to study medicine but cannot due to quotas. And the clinical associates’ skills also undermined🙄.
MavoSthe WitnessKZN Wenja🙄
WitnessKZN No such thing,we do have doctors and nurses,the problem was allowing politicians who don't understand the field want to control the health department and loot the money that was meant to employ,pay doctors and nurses and maintenance of our public clinics and hospitals
WitnessKZN There are unemployed doctors in the country a d those who studied overseas are ignored.
WitnessKZN Lies
WitnessKZN This is the lies they tell us when they want to bring in Cubans. 😂
WitnessKZN Open up and let any child study to become a dr.
WitnessKZN This Minister is lousy. Didn't you learn anything from Dr Aaron?
WitnessKZN lol, there are literally 100s of unemployed doctors
WitnessKZN The issue here is not about doctors.we cant expect our doctors to examine the whole of african continent that is in south africa presently.south african doctors are enough for south african people
WitnessKZN Lies
WitnessKZN The issue here is not about the shortages of the doctors but re colonization of our graduates and the country. Liars
popomosarwane WitnessKZN They are now trying to find creative ways to give Cuba that 50 million 🚮🚮🚮
WitnessKZN This is ironic cuz we have qualified doctors sitting at home. I think the real problem is with the leadership / management failing to identify shortages & advertise posts.
WitnessKZN It’s got a super critical shortage of honest leaders too. Maybe that’s the reason. But call in the Cubans…
WitnessKZN Everything that Starts with 'Department of' in South Africa is dog shit.
WitnessKZN This is a ploy to hire foreigners espicially from cuba We know there are uneployed Sabs doctors
WitnessKZN Australia, Canada, the USA and the UK thank you for making doctors have to emigrate.
WitnessKZN Abekho abangaqashiwe ngoba befunde kangaka abantu?
WitnessKZN Open up training spaces....there are way too many students who meet entry requirements to medical schools. But due to limited space end up with Bsc which are not in demand
WitnessKZN This government has completely lost the plot.
WitnessKZN South Africa had no shortage of doctors, the ruling party chooses not to employ enough doctors. I know at least two unemployed doctors.
WitnessKZN It’s a lie, just an excuse to hire more fake fly by night Nigerian doctors
Auntie_OO WitnessKZN guess they will drop the standard to get more doctors in - I mean ANC style
WitnessKZN Dangerous levels of stupidity here. So what were they thinking was going to happen when they didn't place new graduates? They keep on creating problems that shouldn't exist. Maybe they want to give Cuba some money
WitnessKZN Who do you blame for this?
WitnessKZN Kill the quota and there will be enough doctors……
WitnessKZN Their problem is that they want to bring more doctors from Cuba even teachers from Cuba
WitnessKZN Open boarders contribute to this statistic no? Poor work conditions, fewer than the bare minimum number of clinics & hospitals, etc. These are adminstrative failures where he & all responsible must not only vacate their positions but face charges of negligence.
WitnessKZN He is lying!
WitnessKZN These ANC lies are just TOO MUCH. South Africa has NO shortage of doctors, nurses, teachers, social workers ECT. There is only a shortage of will power to EMPLOY South Africans. How many SOUTH AFRICAN doctors, teachers, social workers and nurses are UNEMPLOYED? Let us begin there
WitnessKZN No, SA has the best unemployed doctors in the entire world just employ them regardless of there skin couler or age. You as health minister should know that so stop making fals and stupid comments please. Think for a change before you speak.
WitnessKZN With our unemployment rate,there's no wonder why...
WitnessKZN This is Drunk.... bonglez covered a story where new doctors couldn't find work and some not getting paid. Am I losing something here....?
WitnessKZN Is this a joke
WitnessKZN They all left for better living conditions and better facilities. This was long coming no great news
WitnessKZN Imagine NHI. Gonna be even worse when all the doctors leave. . But so long as ANC can plunder funds it doesnt matter. We are led! VIVA! *singing and dancing noises
WitnessKZN I know a lot of unemployed doctors in sa. What does he mean sa has shortage of drs
WitnessKZN Because they are all leaving SA
WitnessKZN This is because of Zimbabwean aliens,otherwise we've enough Dr's
WitnessKZN SA doctors have been migrating to Dublin,london and canada
Thabang_350 WitnessKZN Here are some doctors
WitnessKZN Which South Africa? Are we living in the same country as these minister?
WitnessKZN I wonder why? Horrible working conditions. Inept and corrupt government administration... I wonder why?
WitnessKZN Where do the graduates we see every year go to?
WitnessKZN This is a lie, South Africa has doctors, just that they are unemployed because you prefer foreign doctors to occupy public hospitals.
WitnessKZN I have a feeling they want to bring their cuban friends,dont we have doctors who graduated not so long ago?
WitnessKZN Train people, work on it.We have 70% youth unemployment,take youth test them and train them. The ANC is so clueless and stupid my god. Train the youth, SAns youth is more than capable. We have people that can do it. Stop pushing illegal foreigner agenda on us SA media is trash
WitnessKZN Gee I wonder why? 🤔 VoetsekANC VoetsekBEEE
WitnessKZN In a few days they’ll be bringing Cuban doctors again.
WitnessKZN We chased them away because of the ANC.. People don't want to live in SA... Children have no future
WitnessKZN But we have unemployed Dr's , his trying to pool wool over our eyes
WitnessKZN And yet there’s no shortage of bright students wanting to study medicine. But they get turned down. Friend of ours daughter got 7 distinctions but was turned away and couldn’t get into medical school.
WitnessKZN Money racketeering loading
WitnessKZN Absolute horse shit. They're trying to justify Cuban Drs again
WitnessKZN Mnxm
WitnessKZN Darwin’s theory in practice…
WitnessKZN Shortage byang with soo many unemployed graduates sitting at home doing nothing... Hire these kids before they get old!!!
WitnessKZN Go to Konka Sir they are there
WitnessKZN Because of CORRUPTION or misallocation of funds ,you have no funds to employ newly qualified Doctors! There's plenty of Drs lying in limbo with no jobs or working on contractual basis! Yet again , failing to Govern at all spheres of Government!!!
WitnessKZN Then promote nurses😂
WitnessKZN NHI other than violating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights .. is based on incorrect assumptions and a failure to anticipate the outcome of this bad decision .. After 27 years one can look at 'EVERY' ANC Decision & Policy by measuring the magnitude of its failure!
WitnessKZN Wtf ! But we have unemployed doctors and nurses! So clearly government not looking inward at its hiring policies
WitnessKZN I can already hear the noise from Air Cubana landing..............!!
WitnessKZN Well well well what do you know, the same government who put quotas in place are now feeling the pinch.
WitnessKZN Looks like there are more Covid 19 and Vaccine EXPERTS than DOCTORS 🤔
WitnessKZN Are they all sitting at home while government employs idiot illegals
WitnessKZN If we somehow allowed potential incumbents into universities without the crazy restrictions - maybe they would not be leaving the country to study overseas. They end up staying there!!!
WitnessKZN Just wait till your insanely stupid NHI drops then we will have even less. Their are many of our doctors in Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and even UAE I wonder why?
WitnessKZN Joe is not clever enough for this job .
WitnessKZN Who are those patients illegal foreigners?
WitnessKZN Yet we still deny access to med school based on race. Self inflicted injury is no excuse
WitnessKZN You didn't give them job cause they didn't meet quotas....
WitnessKZN Don't we have hundreds of doctors sitting at home? Any unemployed doctor please comment here!
WitnessKZN The same thing were raised when Department of Home affairs decided not to renew Zimbabwe Special permit. I doubt South Africa have shortage of Dr' remember the was time in Limpopo. interns went to strike because they weren't taken permanent.
WitnessKZN The lack of doctors are the result of the anc structures phasing out of skills to accommodate their racist transformation to incompetent people.
WitnessKZN Is it a shortage of doctors or a shortage (!) of funds to employ more in the public sector …?
WitnessKZN Which doctors are taking jobs then ?
WitnessKZN Now they want to bring more crocodile riders🤡 just bring Cuban doctors that the only way to unit south africans in terms of fighting foreigners dominant when truck drivers cry about zimbos taking their jobs it become xenophobia but when Cuban doctors come we unit as SA,
WitnessKZN Patient that are illegal in SA dont talk nonsense this government as poes
WitnessKZN This what they say when they want to bring in Cubans The are so many graduates in the county
maggsnaidu WitnessKZN You pay them peanuts and
WitnessKZN I thought we sorted this out with cubagate?
WitnessKZN What are they doing to address this urgent situation
WitnessKZN lol so they can justify getting Cuban doctors
WitnessKZN That’s what happens when professionals mass migrate 🤡🙄🤡
WitnessKZN 😡
WitnessKZN Don’t say , they might just drop the pass rate even more for doctors
WitnessKZN ZungulaVuyo different messages from the same govt
WitnessKZN SA has a CRITICAL SHORTAGE of most F%KING things. Keep churning out & accepting the 60% ers at Med School,who do can't go back & serve their own communities. Call out your own before calling out immigrants You know when you know. MedicalDoctors MedicalStudents SouthAfrica
WitnessKZN This man will lead us into slaughter ...strue I'm telling you
WitnessKZN DrMkhize4 woza brazo sebefuna ukuyolanda kwelalizwe futhi
WitnessKZN Last time i checked there were doctors who were complaining that our government doesn't want to hire them ....so i guess all those have been hired...
WitnessKZN There are lot of qualified drs who can’t practice because they’re denied to write an exam some are denied to do comm services, some even an internship
WitnessKZN If we exclude the illegal immigrant patients streaming over the borders there will probably be enough doctors for SA patients. We are expected to provide doctors for the whole of Africa United.
WitnessKZN And it will become worse when your NHI comes in place HealthZA
WitnessKZN Few RSA doctors registered with HPCSA or few in public healthcare?I find it hard to believe, but ke he knows best(not).
SubiBuseko WitnessKZN Do we have a critical shortage or do we deploy doctors inefficiently. The ratio is all doctors rather doctors in the public sector. Each year we add 1800 new doctors and absorb less than 200 in the public sector. Of the 18000 doctors in the public sector most are in cities
WitnessKZN Its a good a opportunity to hire SA doctors.
WitnessKZN Uthini baba should we consider hiring foreigners or we stick to the principles that they must go and leave our country alone
WitnessKZN We will never have enough Dr's to threat the all Africans, if u check not only hospitals are flooded, everywhere public service can't cope, is because of that reason we see our people who working at public clinics, hospitals and others they don't care anymore,
WitnessKZN Then why were we getting rid of doctors because 'they were needed to ease pressure from the pandemic'.
WitnessKZN This is a lie HealthZA we have matriculants every year ( with high marks) that do not get selected to study medicine because they are 'White' full stop! and then those students selected don't qualify to become doctors. Racism is the real reason implemented by the ANCParliament
WitnessKZN Why?
WitnessKZN Where are the unemployed south African doctors as said by Dudula
WitnessKZN What do you expect when our borders are wide open and FOREIGNERS just come to our country for free healthcare.
WitnessKZN As a minister in charge what has he done about that? Are we not producing enough? Our biggest problem is ministers who are paid to give reports on challenges and never give solution. ' We have a problem as a country and we must do something about it'..even after a year same!
WitnessKZN 😂 😂 😂 But there are many unemployed drs in SA, why don't you just hire them.
WitnessKZN Come to Uganda doctors are home because of low salary wage 🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️
WitnessKZN Give us money we will go to school for the betterment of our nation😬😬
WitnessKZN We don't need foreigners in our country they go work at their country 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I remember the xenophobic took place in recent years lead to many foreigner doctors to leave the country
WitnessKZN Fewer in terms of? The last time I checked there were lots of unemployed SA doctors in the country. Or is their way of employing Cuban doctors again
WitnessKZN But when doctors or should I say black doctors from Africa come, you allow Lux and his minions to let a taxi driver tell them' you are taking our jobs'
