Zille slams white doctor snub

Just because I am such a helpful fellow:

Cape Town - News that three highly qualified medical doctors nominated for posts in two understaffed public hospitals have been rejected by the Western Cape provincial health department - because they are white - has been slammed by Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Helen Zille.
In her regular on Friday internet column SA Today, Zille said public hospitals served the poor "most of whom are black".

These patients wanted the best possible service and were not interested in the skin colour of the person delivering that service. She noted that no black professionals applied for these positions and the posts were still vacant.

Zille, who took over from Tony Leon as leader of her party earlier in May, said she was carrying out a fundamental review of DA policies to ensure that they were relevant.

She cited the matter of the doctors as a clear example of the different approaches of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) and her party.

"Our policy review will spell out these differences in every area of South African life.

"It is nothing short of tragic that one of the skilled medical practitioner, rejected by his own country's public health sector where he wanted to work, has now emigrated to Australia where his skills will be better recognised and used.

"It should be clear, even to ANC Western Cape Health MEC, Pierre Uys, that his short-sighted race-based policies have not advanced transformation.

"Instead, he has actually set back the real goal of transformation, which must be to provide a quality health service to more and more South Africans," said Zille
 
I eagerly await the usual suspects responses to this.
 
I wish this country can move forward, but it seems the ANC wants to hold it back at all costs.

They are SO Telkom.

I wouldn't go that far. She's a politician therefore she is not to be trusted. I will, however, admit that she seems to have more integrity than most. I hope she doesn't disappoint.
 
When will the rest of the ppl wake up and realise that the ANC doesnt care if the ppl employed are skilled or not, as long as they are not white.

She has already done more than that Travelgate-scum in parliament.
 
I second the call "GO HELEN GO!!!"
The ANC has only one card that they can play and that is the one of race. ANC, that item is old news. You could use that 13 years ago, but not anymore. Your actions give a clear indication that you do not care who lives or dies! We have now officially become ZIM2.

The sadest part of all this, is that people that are unhappy with the ANC will still not vote for Helen, even if she can make a difference. What do you have to lose???

Agree, but I believe all politicians should be viewed with a measure of suspicion (not just in SA). Nothing I've seen in local or international politics has changed that view. I will admit that there are exceptions, but they are too few and far between to be of any consequence.
 
Lol, at least when you get Screwed by Helen, you fell like you're being screwed by a professional ;)

Seriously though, I really rate her, if only for her openess and willingness to talk to "we the people", and explain what's going on.

Take Greenpoint. They're still having to build the stadium there, but at least now we know why, and why there's no real alternative.

We do?:confused:
 
Seems like these new ANC policy's are moving away more and more from what the people like OR Tambo stood for.


"We seek to create a united Democratic and non-racial society. We have a vision of South Africa in which black and white shall live and work together as equals in conditions of peace and prosperity. Using the power you derive from the discovery of the truth about racism in South Africa, you will help us to remake our part of the world into a corner of the globe on which all -- of which all of humanity can be proud." - A quote from Oliver Tambo speaking at Georgetown University on January 27, 1987.

Misread and thought you said 'lifeless' ... was kinda nodding my head in agreement that her face does look a bit plastic and then did a reread :D

Selfless is not really the exact word I wouldn't have picked, effective maybe.
