South Africa is faced with a staggering unemployment rate.
Young professionals are now calling on the government to act on the unemployment of doctors and pharmacists.
This critical skill sector has seen a surge in qualified doctors and pharmacists, but hundreds are unemployed and at home.
They have protested over the years, demanding the intake of young graduates within the health sector.
They hope that President Cyril Ramaphosa’s State of the Nation Address will deal with these issues.

Anc is a curse. Ettirs
Standards were lowered, entrance requirements are based on race, people are surprised that it means nothing anymore to be a doctah or pharmaceest
Where's your bee plan
I completed school when i was 23 am now 27 still hunting.
But I'm slowly loosing hope because I'm catching up with whatever life will offer
His name is excellent means he is from Zim right? Sad that he is not getting a job – but I think SA will start with SA citizens – it’s sad all round that medical degrees are not getting jobs when the country has medical issues and thieves wasting the money to buy lambos and not help the people. And I think maybe a ban on new medical degrees and education for perhaps another 5 years and priority on another field pushed. Marching as unions is a dead way and a waste – strategize and mobile resources to make structural changes and please unions wear shorts and ties – you also look unemployed mfwetu – how will get employment for others. And please the president is not the only one who can solve things – the private sector is also part of the solution
Wait is this south africa?
Did these mfers care about the workers who lost their jobs because of their fantasy flu mandates? Lol
I don't think they ever thought that after they voted for the ANC they'd be unemployed. They deserve it!!!
At least not as bad as under white leaders all those decades ago!
Nobody is getting sick in South Africa?
The government is robbing the public, enriching themselves, while not employing doctors. ANC has become like Zimbabwe’s ZANU-PF
Too much amapiiano, too little industry
How can a doctor be unemployed?
Finally, South Africans are moving away from endless blame of foreigners. Now, they are forced to confront the root of the problem – ANC’s mismanagement!
things went to the dogs after covid. the labour market never recovered afterwards, and now even doctors are unemployed. Something we've never seen before
Hard to believe.
My message is the only way to get south africa that we want is to take bo madala na bo gogo out of power
We used to say there are unemployed graduates because of the course, but this disproves that line of thinking
There's plenty of doctors needed in many countries around the world.
Go to Saudi Arabia , Oman, UAE or the Caribbean . They looking for doctors . Don’t know why S Africans don’t like Emigrating for work . Go Make your money while you young
Well… Can ya watch my kids?
Another indicator that indigenous governance is failing the people😮
As usual blame foreigners
Smh the world we live in
What a country. Skills shortage but they don’t hire doctors. Economic turnaround but every week a major company files for bankruptcy. Hullets sugar is the latest one. Thousands of jobs on the line.
South Africa has money for Hamas but nothing for South Africans.
Sounds like Jamaica
This is really sad!! We need these pharmacists and doctors…
So none job is safe you can even end as a doctor unemployment 😂😂
Then we're surprised that a clown from Russia comes and turns our countries into a mess before leaving without a care in the world. Africa suffers from its useless and mediocre leaders who cling to power as if it were a matter of life or death.
Try BPO as USRN, it has a great opportunity for you in that sector.
Maybe now people will be able to become healthy 🤔
Doctors unemployment 😮 Germany needs doctors!!!!
So,, unemployed engineers are chilling and doctors are making noise
