The Department of Health says doctors who have not yet received their Occupational Specific Dispensation payment will get it tomorrow.
The South African Medical Association said in a statement on Friday that many doctors had not been paid the once-off OSD bonus, months after they were supposed to have received it.
Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi was reportedly very upset when he was informed of the problem.
Health department spokesperson Charity Bengu now says doctors will be paid tomorrow, with the balance of payment being made on Thursday.
