With the blatant disrespect and disregard the government has shown toward pharmacy graduates and interns in both KZN and Free State, it's no wonder people want to leave the country once they qualify.
It's about time we started asking the important questions: (A thread)

[Nkululeko Mahlangu @sun337767]

@kznhealth has decided that for the year 2026 they will not offer Pharmacist internships. Is this because the department does not value the contribution of pharmacists in the provision of health?

What does this mean for the future of the pharmacy profession?? If posts are not released for interns this year what does it mean for 2026 graduates? @kznhealth @kzngov @kznpremier

[Nkululeko Mahlangu @sun337767]

While Limpopo province @HealthLimpopo has successfully advertised and placed 153 pharmacist interns, @kznhealth @kzngov has advertised 0 posts citing budget cuts 🤬. Why are the budget cuts only in Kwa-Zulu Natal?

If what they are doing is not a permanent closure, then what should the current graduates do, it's good if they stay direction less at home?

KZN department of health must take accountability of their actions, Pharmacy graduates must be given internship opportunities.

Hundreds of qualified pharmacist interns in KZN face unemployment after posts were not released this year. In a healthcare system already under strain, this decision harms both young professionals and patient care. We need answers @kznhealth

We are looking for answers on why pharmacist internship for 2026 in KZN were not released. It's really concerning as our country is facing high unemployment rate but we such incompetent departments.

Where are pharmacy graduates from @UKZN @MandelaGiving supposed to work if @kznhealth is not releasing posts for 2026?? Is the future of pharmacy being killed in @kzngov ??

Why pharmacist interns out of all the professions ?

@kznhealth@kzngov@kznpremier

[Nkululeko Mahlangu @sun337767]

Where did the budget for 2026 pharmacist internships go to @kznhealth ? How did you have a budget the previous years and not this year 2026 @kzngov?

4. Why was the statement so delayed to begin with? Why were they telling us absolutely nothing through the entirety of December?

We cannot be angry enough about this. If people continue to believe that Pharmacy lacks advocacy, then let's start fixing that.
