Pretoria, April 28, 2020.- The Friends of Cuba SA (FOCUS) welcomes the CubanInternationalist Health Brigade to South Africa. Today, theCuban commitment to international solidarity in health careis once again demonstrated.
At a time when so many nations are looking inward in the fight against COVID-19,
Cuba is sharing its health personnelwith the world, including our country. Since April this year,Cuba has sent medical personnel to fight COVID-19 to over 15 countries - from Angola to Italy and Andorra - and thenumber continues to grow.
Pretoria, 27 April 2020.- The ANC Youth League in the Western Cape welcomes the arrival of more than 200 Cuban doctors into our country to join us in another heroic and selfless struggle: helping to curb the spread of Covid-19.
We believe it is an important symbol that Cuba, who sent combatants to Angola to help defeat the South African Defense Force and thereby open the final stretch of the road to liberation, should have touched down in South Africa on Freedom Day.
