“The poor always follow the rich and, in every environment, nobody wants to stay in an underdeveloped area. Largely with the exception of Gauteng and Western Cape all other provinces are what we call rural provinces so all of us are moving from our rural provinces to townships, suburbs and everywhere. So that’s what particularly drives young people and as they move with skills because either they move when they are young and they get trained there and they never come back,” says Maluleke.
“Our program qualification mix is informed by numbers, we check how many we take, and you talk of the medical school. Our capacity both in terms of space and human resources dictates that we take a certain number of medical students for training school. Our capacity dictates to us how many of those can be trained to become specialists. We don’t have chartered accountants, we don’t have enough medical doctors.
