Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi said that the new offer from government could see state doctors earning up to 60-percent or more.

Addressing a media briefing in Pretoria on the strike by health professionals in several provinces, Motsoaledi said the proposal would see unequal salary structures collapsed.

The South African Medical Association and government representatives are discussing the wage offer at the Bargaining Council in Pretoria today. State doctors previously said they would not accept anything less than a 50-percent increase.
