Auditor-General Tsakani Maluleke has sharply criticized a costly, mismanaged training program by the Department of Defense that has left many students stranded. Of the 108 students sent to Cuba for studies in medicine, psychology, and biomedical engineering at R2.7 million each only six medical students were accepted back at the University of Pretoria. Additionally, biomedical engineering graduates cannot register with the Engineering Council of South Africa due to the non-recognition of their Cuban degrees. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Defence and Military Veterans, Dakota Legoete
