President Cyril Ramaphosa has condemned the violent Nehawu strike which has led the deaths of four people.
We are all concerned about the violent nature of the strike that is under way. Workers in our country have the right to freedom of association and to strike.
But that right is not absolute because there are certain workers in essential services, particularly for instance in the police service, those who perform very intricate services in the health sector like doctors and nurses whose absence and participation in a strike puts lives in danger. “But, we will not allow any form of violence that will lead to people getting injured, prevented from performing their tasks and where lives can be lost as a result of people being on strike.
“As we move forward we expect that these messages will be heeded, especially the message that if you go on strike, there will be no pay because we also need labour and if you don’t work you will not be compensated,” he said.
