Operations in a number of hospitals around the country have been disrupted due to the strike by the National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union on Monday.
Nehawu spokesperson Lwazi Nkolonzi told TimesLIVE workers were demonstrating peacefully but force was allegedly used by private security to disperse striking workers.
“Our members are demonstrating peacefully but we are seeing the brutality unleashed on our members. The department must condemn that because our members have been demonstrating peacefully since the beginning of the strike this morning.”“There was no violence at all from our side. We were demonstrating peacefully. It is private security provoking our members and using force.”Nkolonzi said the union expected thousands of public sector workers to be “tools down” and demonstrate outside workplaces.
