Every few months there has been a story about Cuban doctors, Cuban engineers or Cuban teachers brought into South Africa by the government to work. In this episode we ask: what is going on? Why does this keep happening when there are so many qualified people available locally being overlooked? Does Cuba have South Africa's nudes perhaps? How did these foreign workers manage to get the VIP treatment from the SA government? In the words of Camilla Cabello, it seems like South Africa's heart is in Havana, ooh-na-na.
