They are in London doing a good job for British cause they couldn't cope with pathetic working conditions the gov as employer provided them same applies with the nurses, and already about 12-15yrs ago SA regime of incompetence was warned about brain drain what did you SAIRR think was meant by this warning? You were also warned that will result in a shrinking tax base, a characteristic found in most failed and turned dictatorial countries, did you not pay attention? and now you are stating the obvious?

I am very disturbed by Mzansi Fo Sho presenter Tshepo Ngwane's statement that he dumped the mother of his child because she allegedly dated an HIV-positive person.
That is selfish and self- righteous. This boy has a super-inflated ego. I challenge the ignorant Ngwane to take a public HIV test.
He does not seem to realise that his statement exposed his stupidity. I don't believe that SABC1 should renew his contract. I don't think we should be watching people like Ngwane on our screens.
From now on, when Ngwane appears on my TV, I will just switch channels. I will not allow a fool to come into my living room.
SABC must educate its staff about HIV because they are supposed to be role models. I really wish Ngwane could take a public HIV test, then publish the results. As a self-confessed playboy, Ngwane cannot be sure of his status.
It's a shame though when a person like him exposes his ignorance like that, and then feels sorry for the woman he intended marrying.
And trying to blame his role in Yizo Yizo does not wash because Zola was in the same production and he is using that experience in a positive way.

This Country is capable of producing great educated people, but because people with no matric are up there ruling the country that is what I fail to understant and accept, they dont know plight of the educated, moreso social workers/nurses/doctors/security/teachers, our Government is blinded by corruption and wanting family members only to benefit, we are losing great people here, Zuma must wakeup before this country is left with only Taxi drivers.
