Is SA bankrupt or just corrupt? – The Department of Health budget does not allow hundreds of graduates to be placed for community service

Some of the medical staff are paid by the US Presidential Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Pepfar) and the rest by the ANC’s ineffective government.
The government’s mandatory community service for graduate medical students aims to help combat the huge HIV problem while the masses continue to promote Aids with immorality.
