Dozens of Mafoko Security Patrols workers whose month-to-month contract was terminated by RK Khan Hospital in Chatsworth, Durban, have been picketing.
Sithole said there were people who had been left in limbo as debit orders had depleted their bank balances.
Nokuthula Cebekhulu, 40, said she has had to beg for food reserved for the hospital patients as she had not been paid.Her colleague, Martin Siphoko, accused the company of not putting aside money in a provident fund scheme.Health department spokesperson Ntokozo Maphisa said: “After being made aware of the situation, the department immediately put in place a security contingency plan which ensured that the safety of the building, staff and patients was not compromised.
He added that the guards had also refused to engage the employers directly and allegedly abandoned the site. Nehawu's regional secretary in eThekwini, Prince Mthalane, said the issue necessitated an overhaul of outsourcing security services at health institutions.
