WC begrudgingly accepts help from Cuban doctors via TheCitizen_News
Despite its previous rejection of deployment of Cuban doctors in the province, the Western Cape now also stands to benefit from the 200 medical officials sent by Cuba to South Africa to fight the spread of the coronavirus.
Cuba and South Africa have had 25 years of cordial diplomatic relations, which Ramaphosa said were mutually beneficial. He said the two countries enjoyed constructive cooperation at both bilateral and multilateral levels. Pandor, along with Defence and Military Veterans Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and others welcomed the Cubans at Waterkloof Airforce Base on Monday morning.
The arrival of Cuban medical experts was a response to a request by Ramaphosa to his Cuban counterpart Díaz Canel Bermúdez.
