In South Africa, racism is STILL more important than human life

This article in the Sunday Times highlights the shocking levels to which we've sunk as a country when it is deemed more important to enforce affirmative action employment policies in hospitals in the Western Cape than it is to save the lives of the patients who are in them.

Up to 10 operations a day are having to be cancelled, because specialist surgeons cannot be found to fill the posts - "black" surgeons that is. There are "white" and "Indian" specialists available, who have applied for the posts, but the hospitals are not allowed to hire them.

So now, just like with apartheid, South Africans are dying because of racist politics.

This place is truly sick.
