local nurse is making its rounds on social media.
In the short clip, she is heard questioning the government’s treatment of nurses and its citizens in general.
At one point she is heard angrily saying, “The ANC is corrupt as hell.” Frustrated SA citizens agreed with her, reacting to the video over 15 000 times.Corruption in the South African government is at an all-time high. Billions have been looted from an emergency fund that was supposed to help combat the struggles brought along by the Covid-19 pandemic. South Africans who are mostly up in arms with the president’s failure to pinpoint and bring to justice the looters have taken to airing out their opinions about the big mess SA politicians are getting SA into. The latest person to do so is an unidentified nurse. In a clip posted by @kulanicool, the young nurse can be heard sharing her thoughts on all the corruption and failures of the current SA government. “Apartheid government was oppressive but it took care of its people. Our black government keeps failing us,” she says. She also goes on to ask where she can report unjust government officials. “I want to know where I can report to. I can’t go and report the government to the government,” she is heard saying. Her complaints focused a lot on the treatment essential service workers such as herself were getting from the government. This after a plethora of complaints about under-delivered PPE, being underpaid, and not being prioritised as high risk while working with Covid-19 patients. She also mentions how many of SA’s citizens, nurses included, are suffering as a result of all the retrenchments which have taken place during the nationwide lockdown.
