As of my last update, the starting salary for a surgeon in South Africa can vary based on factors such as location, type of practice (public vs. private), and level of experience. Generally, a newly qualified surgeon can expect a starting salary in the range of approximately **R800,000 to R1,200,000 per year** in the public sector. In the private sector, salaries can be significantly higher, often exceeding **R1,500,000 annually** as they gain experience and build their practice.
It's important to check current resources or local medical associations for the most accurate and up-to-date information, as salaries may change over time due to various economic factors and healthcare demands.
