A group of unemployed doctors in KwaZulu-Natal is preparing to march from the UNISA Pietermaritzburg campus this morning.
The doctors are seeking to highlight their plight and demand urgent government action.
The state’s failure to employ qualified doctors has become a serious concern. Over 1 500 of them are jobless in South Africa.
One of the conveners, Dr. Mxolisi Xulu says, “Our Minister (of Health) said that they don’t owe us an employment or placement of jobs, therefore we are supposed to go to private or else go to overseas and we say ing we are here, we studied here in SA. They supported us as the department…and we are saying we are not leaving and we’re here to save our communities.”
