Germany is seeking to recruit 500,000 nurses from Africa in an apparent move to tackle shortages in its health system.
The European country, struggling with a severe labour shortage, was already in discussions with South Africa-trained nurses to fill its vacancies.
Khaya Sodidi, the deputy secretary-general of the Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa (Denosa), who disclosed this, said Germany wants the African country to train nurses for them, especially the unemployed youth.
Mr Sodidi stressed that the European country has a shortage of about 500,000 nurses, while South Africa has about 20,000 unemployed nurses.
