Fewer Hospitals Disrupted By Public Sector Strike GroundUp_News: SouthAfrica NehawuStrike
There were still disruptions at some health facilities by striking workers on Thursday, but the situation appears to have been much calmer than earlier this week. Negotiations had not yet resumed by early afternoon between unions and the government at the Public Sector Coordinating Bargaining Council.
Five provinces have since applied for court interdicts to prevent the NEHAWU from disrupting services at health facilities and intimidating workers. These provinces include Gauteng, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Northern Cape, and Eastern Cape.The situation in Gauteng improved on Thursday. On Wednesday the Gauteng Department of Health spokesperson confirmed that about twelve health facilities were impacted by the strike, with four hospitals experiencing complete shutdown.
Earlier today there were protestors singing at the gates of some health facilities, such as the National District Hospital and Boitumelo Regional Hospital. She said other health facilities, mainly in Kuruman as well as De Aar hospital , had sporadic incidents of striking workers.
