CAPE TOWN - The South African Veterinary Association said the ever-decreasing number of veterinary professionals in the country was creating a critical imbalance between the number of vacant posts and people qualified to fill them.
Managing director of SAVA, Gert Steyn, said the association did not receive a response from government on their proposal, yet."Over 60% of positions that are advertised - this is now the combination rural and urban - are still vacant after 12 months, but if you are a veterinarian trying to find a job, 50% of them find a job within one month.
Steyn said the number of students doing veterinary studies was dwindling, adding that this also impacted on sourcing lecturers for the course.
