While Michelle Cerfontyne was completing her medical training last year, the Covid-19 pandemic overwhelmed South Africa’s understaffed public hospitals, so the young doctor thought she would get a job easily.
But when she started applying for posts prospectively in September, there seemed to be no vacancies.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - While Michelle Cerfontyne was completing her medical training last year, the COVID-19 pandemic overwhelmed South Africa’s understaffed public hospitals, so the young doctor thought she would get a job easily.
