Yet, South African government doctors earn up to three times more in a month than what some make in a year in other middle-income countries in Africa, such as Kenya and Nigeria. Salaries for doctors in Nigeria — which is experiencing a large-scale exodus of doctors — are even lower. In other words, South African medical officers earn 40.9 times more than Nigerian entry-level doctors (R900 000 vs R22 000 per year).

In the fourth episode of the series, Ward attends one of Mahrez's games in Saudi Arabia and sits alone in a private box.

However, the judge said the right was not absolute and the request could be denied depending on the circumstances.
