It was posted in response to Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association acting spokesperson, Dr Mthabisi Bhebhe’s tweet which expressed concern over the dismissal of 81 doctors over the snub of a hearing. Bhebhe had said:
Day 62
Our Principals have no respect for medical doctors in Zimbabwe because their doctors are in China & Singapore.
Yesterday they summarily dismissed 81 doctors for demanding a living wage.
We have been called STUDENT DOCTORS, LABOURERS, MHESVAMIKONO for asking a fair wage.
