Unemployed doctors vow to picket outside Mabuyane’s office until they get jobs

The SA Medical Association (Sama) says it is deeply concerned about the alarming number of junior doctors who remain unemployed despite completing their community service, with more than 1,800 doctors reported to be affected nationwide. This week, unemployed Eastern Cape doctors submitted a memorandum to the office of premier Oscar Mabuyane, demanding that his government address their call for jobs after their community service contracts came to an end on December 31.
