Unfotunately, my mother is too old to leave and start afresh so she has had to put up with some of the problems.
Some of my staff who I speak to everyday in SA are leaving too,Unfortunately, as are a ot of my friends and collegues.
Never mind, it just opens up more opportunities for others.

I don't know anyone who is leaving or interesting in leaving. I suppose if you hang around with negative people and fuel each others paranoia enough it rubs off.

Go then man. Let go. Leave us be. If you don't want to be a part of the future here , then that's fine. But please get out of our way. Don't run around out of spite trying to derail our journey with your negative nonsense.

But get it in writing.
The current crop of Cuban doctors are all doing their two year Community service in the sticks.
A friend who wished to specialise in Trauma was informed two years.
Choice was Bara or Helen Joseph if I recall. salary was ZAR160k
Easy, all it takes is an email.

Is it monthly or annual salary?

Annual, but it should have improved by now

And once more Bovine rebel proves he cannot read.

"The current crop of Cuban doctors are all doing their two year Community service in the sticks.

How much does Bovine rebel think the lowly monthly stipend is while they are doing their community service??

Strange link that Bovine rebel. like most of your posts it does'nt appear to actually give any info.

Bovinerebel also does'nt point out why the SA Govt wants you to do 2 years Community service before you can practice privately.
Badi they need medical personel desparately, a lot of the SA ones who love their Country have left because of Crime and career prospects.

Leaving South Africa because of crime is like leaving washington dc because of crime. The crime rate is actually lower for middle classed people in South Africa than it is in that state. The consider that JHB is twice as bad as the rest of the country and worrying about crime is actually laughable. Job prospects ? The south african economy has never been as healthy. If you're leaving south africa because of job prospects once again you're being incredibly stupid.

I agree the government needs doctors in...I'd encourage them to come. They can live a great lifestyle in conditions i guarantee will pleasantly surprise them rather than shock them. However bad the government hospitals are , they are 50 times better than anyone would expect of africa. The private hospitals are excellent .

Here we go again, The poster was asking about South africa, not washington State or any of the other places.
You brought up crime,I did'nt.
However,your expert opinion on Johannesburg was based on your visiting your brother there a few times.

Which of the Govt or Provincial Hospitals are you intimately aquainted with?

Private Hospitals are world Class and you pay for the priviledge,(Happily) it beats having to bring your own linen and have your family wash and take care of you as has been shown to happen in many of the Govt/Provincial Hospitals.
I agree with you that Doctors and specialists make a lot of South African rands(11.33/One euro) as we speak, and that there lives must be beyond compare, and as it is so wonderful ,I wonder why so many have left?(and are still leaving) according to our esteemed Minister of Health, Dr Manto Tshabalala Msimang?

Badi, its a beautiful Country with beautiful people, I suggest (as I did earlier on this thread) that you email the SA Medical council in SA as well as the Dept of Health.
As to the quality of life and Security, i suggest you read the two online reputable newsfeeds viz: www.news24. co.za and IOL: News for South Africa and the World.
Bovine rebel thinks all news that worries his G/F is slanted but Reuters and SA Press Association both use them.
Bovinerebel, I see you have accused me of being a Nazi.
