Talk:Hamilton Naki

Black people could train as doctors and there were medical schools for black people. The requirement however is that they finish matric to enter the schools (which Mr. Naki did not do).

Again this is factually incorrect. At operations generally only trained medical staff are allowed (i.e. medical staff with a formal degree). There are numerous reasons for this (including liability issues). In most countries people without formal training cannot take part in an operation (and you require a medical license).

thread_title:  Factual errors in the article 

message: This fact, while blatantly obvious when reading everything, is not explicitly mentioned in the article. Since so much of Naki's life was influenced by apartheid, this belongs in the first paragraph. -- JovanCormac (talk) 14:15, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: He wasn't Coloured, he was Black!  His life was not "influenced by apartheid".  Just exactly where did apartheid have any influence on his story?  I doubt that a largely uneducated gardener would have got so far in the medical system in any first world country! The controversy and politics came after apartheid, with the racist attempts to embelish his achievements.124.197.15.138 (talk) 04:38, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
