Members of Nehawu entering the premises of Khayelitsha Day Hospital during the strike.
"Violent, unexpected and unbelievable" - that's how a paramedic described the moment healthcare workers belonging to the National Education, Health and Allied Workers Union attempted to remove a child on life support from an ambulance in KwaZulu-Natal this week. The public servant wage strike took a harrowing turn on Wednesday after protesters stormed the ambulance, entering the Justice Gizenga Regional Hospital in KwaDukuza and attempting to remove a child in critical condition.Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism. Thereafter you will be billed R75 per month. You can cancel anytime and if you cancel within 14 days you won't be billed.
So their wages is more important than someone else's life!!!! Those are murderers and need to be locked up!!!!
Nation of barbarians
Is this what really happen,have you forgotten how twists the facts
I'm not sure, but isn't there an oath that you take?
Kubi
NEHAWUs barbaric monsters must be kept at least 500 metres from hospital entrances. These animals have no empathy for sick people! Charge this damn union,and every violent dog!
They are not union, nor are they healthcare personnel. They violated the Hippocratic Oath. Doubtful they even know what that is. Pure scum, all of them, that participated in that
Fucken P...STE
A lawless state
Jail them and fire the rest
These people have no business being anywhere near health CARE.... Their behavior gives lie to their chosen path. Get rid of them.
That is disgusting and inhuman, the party and individuals should be prosecuted by the law and given full punishment and the parents should be fully compensated. What barbaric acts. As healthcare workers, you take an oath to look after patients etc, you go back on oath, FIRED!!!!
It's a culture thing.
WoW , just wow.....typical mentality this...no moral compass what so ever...
Any footage or you're just lying as always?
Even before this, I told my relatives to please let me die at home, At least then I would be in a clean environment, not blocked toilets and bloody linen. They feel a fig for you especially when you're white.
People who were involved in this should either face suspension for a couple of months.Face humanity crimes coz alot of people died.And the unions involved should be fined.
Inhumane and barbaric. ALWAYS
Omg they did what?
Abhorrent behaviour, imagine if one of their loved ones needs critical medical attention
Is this conduct still part of democracy 🤔?
I’m sick 🤢 sies man
What is actually happening with the country? Sad and extremely disturbing!
This was on video?
Savages who still belong in trees
IRememberLifeEsidemeni I won't forget you, whole ex Health Minister HomeAffairsSA Aaron Motsoaledi. I wouldn't be surprised if they are making hospitals untenable so that they can usher in the new Health Insurance thing.
Savages!
Disgusting! I have the world of respect for nurses, but you should be in jail trying to kill a child, definitely not working in a hospital. Our society is sick!
Totally unexceptable, these people must be charged...Eish now where to do this as saps also so corrupt
Blacks are a different calibre of species lol. The older I got, I've realised races on average are just different. 🤣blacks are truly something from another planet lol, there are no words for them yet the media and politicians want us to pity them😩
Barbaric beasts and those are the laziest ones who drag their feet all day and take hours of lunchtime, disgusting!
Beware don't get sick
So nurses is now nkabadine
And then tomorrow, after the raise we are supposed to trust them to return to saving lives 🥲 Please fire that one and send them to jail
Fire those c*nts 🚮
Fire them and charge them for attempted murder and whatever else.
Nobody would be arrested and Nehawu would not be held accountable as they are part of the so-called alliance. Bed partners of the destructive ANC.
We don't need a police service but a piloted force....fucking despicable
Unbelievable
Throw them in jail. Its attempted murder
Use some live ammo to disperse the crowds. Let the medics through
Arrest the NEHAWU leadership scumbags. Treat them for the criminals they are. There is no place in society for this behaviour.
Wtf is wrong with these people! Disgusting behaviour!!! Poor child
They are not wrong ANC destroyed this country because of corruption.if you protest with candle you won't get what you want.goverment must just pay them and close the chapter they are giving people 350grant .
Barbaric behaviour
Ubuntu is dead.
The EFFs' mother political party....
Pangas. That is a very dangerous weapon. Confront a police officer with a panga and you get two bullets in the head. But here it's ok?
SAPoliceService HealthZA RSASIU RonaldLamola These criminals should be identified and locked up. Criminality must be stopped immediately!!!
ThaboSchoeman Seriously. If a relative or friend in hospital especially if elderly & in longer than a few days Please keep a good eye on them/carers. Most are kind but a few are not. I speak from experience. One SEN told me seriously my husband had bad spirits! He was in a coma! TG he survived
ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL. They should be ashamed to call themselves part of the health care profession, let alone the human race.
nothing surprises me at all anymore, and that's the worst part of the hopelessness around living in this hell hole country.
Is that not attempted murder?
Thats savagery, they are not nurses, arrest them
I'd rather die than them treating me. Then again, they appear keen to make the choice on my behalf. Disgusting anamalistic behaviour.
We haven't even heard of such brutality against a child coming out of war zones and especially brutal ones like the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Sigh...
Animals..... There is no justifying that....
Pathetic!!! Vote CancER out!!!!
Despicable behaviour from a health care “professional”
runawayrene Thugs😡😡😡😡
The only action taken will be against whistle-blowers
They should be struck of the role
maggsnaidu And the government wants to push NHI..... yeah that will work.
Indeed very cruel behavior...they should be changed
Sis. If you don't like your job then get another one. Better yet, make your own job. People are pathetic and entitled. Victim mentality and begging bowl brains. I bet the b$ch was 💉 and now she is the bride of Frankenstein. Unacceptable. Lock her up and throw away the key.
What a disgrace. No regard for life or the Hypocratic Oath 😡
Cyril will say and do nothing to stop this tyranny, fool.
There is demonic forces behind all this? Instead of telling here how barbaric these people are, just see that they are controlled by something or somebody else. These forces are united. As Christians we should UNITE rebuking and binding these murderous & destructive spirits.
wow !!! are animals acting as humans here ?!
This is absolutely disgusting. These people should NOT be in this occupation. Actually, doing this demonstrates they are not human! This is attempted murder and Attempted Murder Cases should be opened! They are not worthy service us in that profession.
Are these anc Supporters
They call themselves nurses? Proof that this is just a job, not a calling. This is an ANC job bucket, like all the public servant posts. LOCK HER UP. VoetsekANC
BRAVO 👏👏 At last we have a Human rights CHARTER 👏👏🔥
These things arent human
That nurse must be criminally charged, dismissed and black listed from working in the Health sector going forward. No regard for human life, yet nurses are sworn to abide by the rule of 'first do no harm'. Makes me sick.
Time for rifles.
It's an international norm that healthcare workers are left alone, during war, protest, civil unrest, etc. In return, they treat all who need treatment without fear or favour. Sies, Nehawu!
CarolSchoeman3 Terrible.☹ Not health workers but hooligans. Hope law will take its course.
This is normal in KZN.
ANC legacy....
crimemind3 Barbarians
Sick sick people!
Funny how the EFF is always present. They are a hate based organization.
This is criminal behaviour and should be dealt with accordingly. Shocking!
Yemama 🙆🏽🙆🏽🙆🏽 that’s cruelty at its best, what had the child done to them ?
Why are these criminals not arrested? Can you imagine if it were white nurses/ caregivers doing that? They would’ve been arrested on the spot. And if white nurses said that they couldn’t care if patients died or not How do we trust nurses after that statement?
How revolting! Clearly proves they're in this industry because it's 'just a job' they lack compassion, exactly the quality needed for this profession.
This is a DISGRACE..... They all must be charge for MURDER! 😡😡😡
SANC code of ethics.....
Savages....disgusting
Only in South Africa, and only in one grouping would this happen. Society is rotten
barrybateman Charge these bastards with attempted murder!!!
Just disgusting things.. I can’t use the word humans
Where is the humanity? Strike if you want, but why wield weapons and let sick people suffer
animals
Tragedy & barbarism. I’m speechless. God will mete out the punishment they deserve. You cannot do something like this to an innocent child & think your day won’t come.
They must be arrested for attempted murder.
Reprehensible and repulsive
Now that's BlackExcellence for you. 🤮
Sick....this behaviour MUST BE PUNISHED!!!!!!
The real human rights abuses!
Gee that's well done. What a fantastic job. You guys need a medal
I hope that if anyone dies in those hospitals from neglect or lack of health care professionals or because access for doctors is blocked that these criminals are charged with murder. As it is, all these criminals should be charged with attempted murder for what they've done.
What are the picketing rights, if they broke one then the union must account
I am so speechless 😶 💔
Sorry Healthcare, you're ridiculous. Next strike, I hope you and your families are patients in those same hospitals
They are the worst kind of animals.. disgraceful. Can't call them humans
Despicable and you tell me black lives matter. You need to tell yourselves that rather instead. You are causing pain and suffering to your own because of your own despicable behaviour.
Disgusting vile humans...🤮🤮 Nurse’s Pledge of Service 'The total health of my patients will be my first consideration.'
NEHAWU are 'Thugs with Jobs'. Murderers!!!
They should be in jail for life. If you enter the medical field it should be your calling not just a job. It's really sick how these hooligans behave and we have too trust them with our lives. Not a fok!!! They must go too jail all of them and their unions. Murderers!!!
My word! What has this country become? Monster living here putting money infront of a child’s life! They should be charged for attempted murder.
If this type of disregard for life isn't challenged, can you see where our grandchildren and their children will end up. Unless we start taking responsibility for our actions & grow a conscience, our society will become barbaric. That's called regressing, in case you didn't know
Empty vessels and its no surprise.
This is attempted murder and they should all be charged not looking for sympathy. Despicable low life demons.
En y'all think you can trust ur life with this kind..... a nurse with a panga that attacks an ambulance attempting to remove a child on life support? This person must have her license scraped ...a woman/mother Nogal
Not unexpected…like at all.
We moved from a police state into a democratic country. If this is what democracy is all about? People robbing each other of the basic rights to safety? We need law and order in this country.
Unacceptable behaviour
Bloody disgusting
W T H is wrong with you guys? Are you savages?
We can c
If they have video footage then she must be arrested and charged with attempted murder. Surely a 10% increase does not include murder of a child. She deserves jail. Makes one wonder how she treats patients on a normal day.
If anything is calculated to get absolutely no support or sympathy, this behaviour will ensure that. It’s only a job to get a monthly income for this crowd of hooligans. Where is law and order?
Only in KZN
We are not the same
Try harder!!!
Barbaric
Wow
We are not the same
This is beyond salaries this is pure criminality
They are most probably killing farmers ,teachers, carpenters, clerks, hairdressers, painters, mechanics and many others, needing medical attention, by not doing their jobs..
ANC lives ANC leads..
Murderers
I've only seen EFF members at this riots
I don't know why I find difficult to believe this story, maybe it's because of the unreliable source.
Where's HPCSA_?
why would people ruin their livelihoods these are people who were not employed fairly.they bought those jobs! n
Attempted murder! How much longer are we going to tolerate the savages in our midst?
Please charge the union officials
and why must we have these people treating us in hospital? She has broken the oath she took. And they deny the violence too.
SAVAGES😡😡😡
anyone who has been in a hospital in need of very serious medical help will not be surprised. those people are there for a paycheck, they can be so cruel and heartless in the face of suffering.
mthombothi I feel impress with wonderful work well done, I took a risk to give a try of $2000 and received payment of $18,000 richard1_ray
THEY are ruthless, demonic , uneducated , thugs. Fight fire with fire, stop these vandalising criminal acts.
WTF? Barbaric savages.
Expose the thugs if you are real media!
What were they going to do with the child after disconnecting from life-support? Leave the child to die?
This is the result of decades of neglect and silence : nonsensical violent reactions. Healthcare workers have been the backbone of the society since 25 years with miserable wages and no increases. It is time their work and commitment be recognized fairly!
cazker1 The strike is broken by the same lazy members. Prefer other country labourers who are grateful to be employed. Union leaders usually uneducated and corrupt.
The panga-wielding nurse typifies the mentality and lack of morals that all the government employees possess. It has always been government vs YOU.
What I saw on TV news yesterday is disgusting to say the least.
Their licences should be revoked and they should never be allowed to work in the healthcare sector. Aren't they supposed to save lives?
Well its evident from how these people treat patients in hospitals that they actually don't give two shits about helping people in need of medical care.
Beasts
This is not shocking it tragic that healthcare workers steap so low. They all should be fired with immediate affect cause they don't belong in the positions and are not fit to care for patients in any hospital.
Ah yes - the caring profession! I hope Nurse Medea gets the boot
Throw them all in one cell, with no food , nothing !!
This will only ever go away if these scum gets fired
I will rather die than ever be 'nursed' by these people. They do not deserve to be called health care workers, they don't know about health, they don't care and they don't work
So babaric. You call them humans? Hell NO !! Health Care workers involved in attempted murder!!! This is beyond sick.
These poeple that did this are not worthy of the name human.
Their anger needs to be directed to the government not a child on life support. This isn't lord of the flies. Wtf.
Black lives matter mos 🤷♂️
Is any of the regulators condemning this? Or its business as usual, criminality being allowed to prosper?
SA has lost it’s moral fibre.
Not a police officer in sight.
Democracy is violent.
Wheres that person from yesterday that said.... It's right what they doing. What would you do if you didn't get a raise in four years..... Where is that person? Please raise your hand and explain how that makes attempted murder a legitimate tactic to get a raise.
Black workers in the medical profession stopping a sick black child from getting medical attention. Under democracy. Can someone explain the word UBUNTU to me. Where is Lesufi?
Take not of the tshirt colors . We dont need more 💩💩💩 in parliament or SA !!
Bunch of hardless THUGS 😡😡😡
This is barbaric. Nothing justifies this behavior.
😳 OMG this sickens me to the core !!! 🤦🏻♀️
These devils will be at the forefront of the new NHI 🤡🤡
Lama Vila ka government nxa ngath banga xoshwa bonke labo bavilapha noku sebenzenza
If they do this in public, what are they doing behind closed doors..
It seems that all SA people are selfish and don't care about others around them. No ubunthu detected.
The only thing that comes to mind is Black Eyed Peas - Where is the love.
Another shamfulSA moment! These ppl must make their families so proud
People just have too many rights, no prosecution. Descent into chaos, breakdown of rule of law, teetering with barbarity
Life on prison for all, it's literally attempted murder
but aren't they part of the alliance with ANC, so why are they striking?
Barbarians
The silence from the President on such events is truly shameful. Probably too busy looking after his cattle.
Wow black culture showing itself!
That’s what happens when unions start losing power and they slowly disintegrate
They will kill to make a point.
Health care workers attempting to remove a child from life support? Health care workers? Da fuq?
If only just one would be brought to justice this type of kak would not be happening again and again. Sickening to say the least. They get away with it because the ANC gets away with their kak. No accountability, no values. From top to bottom. Disgusting
These nurses should be arrested and sentenced for attempted murder: trying to take a child that's on life support from the ambulance and attacking a medic with a panga. These nurses are full of evil.
I don't care what they want,but threatening one's right to live in especially a kid,they are not nurses but Satan's to themselves.
And these are the people supposed to care for the sick. Our country is f-ed-up
barrybateman Shocking , no value to life
Borderline attempted murder, they should open a case against these individuals!
They should all be charged with attempted murder.
Howcome these thugs are not being arrested?
Those idiots must be arrested and the parents must also sue Nehawu
barrybateman was charges of attempted murder opened and where is the useless police
Arm the paramedics. If one single unauthorized POS opens that door they should be in their full rights to pump him/her full of lead to protect their patient. That will guarantee none of this crap happens. No sympathy for these immoral cretins, remove them from society.
These are not people nor human. Even animals show compassion.
Another ANC alliance black majority rule success story.
In South Africa, acts of barbarism know no boundaries. 🤷🏿♂️
I thought they were all about saving lives. 🤷🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️
They are barbaric, not human at all, shame on SA
Union leaders should be charged with inciting violence
They need to be charged with attempted murder. Hope they can be identified
Absolutely sickening. They want a raise For their brilliant work saving patients This behaviour is a potential reflection of the values they bring to their work. This shows contempt for patients and healthcare services. They don't deserve a raise. They need to be fired.
Why would somebody carry a panga to a peaceful strike? Didn't these ppl learn anything from Marikana? Shoot a few & again they will cry 'massacre'.
Arrest them! How the hell do you attack an ambulance & even worse, a child on life support These 'people' do not deserve anything!They are supposed to be I'm Healthcare to serve patients! Absolutely shameful!
Imagine how they treat their patients if nurses find wielding pangas normal.
We ARE NOT THE SAME...
Savages
Scum of the earth these people.
Evil,
Nurses without a basic moral compas should not be nurses!!!
It's getting out of control. All for 10%
That is not an action of someone with any humanity in them.
Savage behavior. They should be fired.
Sick! They are disgusting and should be fired . Arrested for attempted murder. We do not want these people in so called 'caring' professions. It is clear they studied nursing because of the money and not because they had a calling.
Can they be charged please. Damn unacceptable ! Who the bloody hell do they think they are. CR put a stop to this utter crap. CyrilRamaphosa
Animals
This country has gone mad. Shocking.
Unlike the rest of Africa, south Africa is about selfishness, hate and destruction.
ringothebaptist Nurses that are employed in government hospitals are tatamount to murderers. Quite willing to let people die because they’re on strike for more money, patients don’t matter! They’re killing children even and people who are in such pain because doctors can’t get to them! Ugh !
Animals!!!
Must be prosecuted for murder
Zweli Mkhize is behind it!
Shocking and disgusting. NO conscience...
Charge the culprits together with the leaders of that union
The rot and scourge not just of our society but the world. No wonder we are going backwards at alarming rates.
And you expect the same people to treat their patients any better? Even if they get what they want poor patients will continue to suffer
Unexpected? Lol
they are not nurses anymore but terrorists. Treat them as such. If you can change from life saver to life taker then you dont belong there
Show us one arrest just one! One prosecution just one and one orange overall just one one long jail time just one! NADA NADA NADA 🇿🇦a failing state?
Where is the 🎩 and 🚓 and 👮♂️ 👮🏿♀️ 👮 nowhere to be seen. Where are the Ministers of Labour Health Police at conferences blah blah blah free lunch free lunch 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ hotels
They should get life in prison. Every single person that touched that ambulance.
Well it seems that there are a few positions open now. These people must obviously be removed from the HPCSA_
Out of all the violent demonstrations this is the most vile, I understand their reason for striking but for people that are suppose to look after the sick this is unforgivable, how can anyone trust them with their lives again.
Why are they not imprisoned?
The only guys that could ever restore other and make millions of SAns obey the Law…modern SAPoliceService can’t police
This is not tantamount to murder. It is attempted murder and these murderous cretins must be arrested for just that. I pray this child receives counselling to overcome this trauma.
They should be happy they have jobs, roof over their head's food on the table and a salary (government staff so not a bad one at that) not destroying and demanding and even killing people.
IT's the way things go now, it's the way they were shown from young We want what we want, and we do not care about anything Life, property etc and if people die, we do not care if we destroy it, we do not care.
The only surprising thing is that anyone is shocked by this. Do we not know that virtually every group protest in SA is all about violence and barbarism?
Protesting and marching SHOULD BE BANNED IN SA All we keep getting is violence from them or damages
What has CyrilRamaphosa to say about this. Surely this should be condemned at the highest level!!! But alas, yet to hear from our criminal regime.
Hold Union responsible! People die because of their push!! Oh it will not happen! Sorry! They can do what they want.. no consequence what so ever. Kill, destroy, disrupt life and honest work… and tomorrow they want all to respect them again? Yoyo!
Acts of violence and intimidation has become a SA norm and seems to have more protection than law abiding citizens. As usual authorities are found wanting
These nurses should not be allowed to strike why are cops not allowed but nurses who also are an essential service get the rights to strike
These are the same people who protest at university. They then become protesters in the work place. I haven't had an increase in 6 years. I won't burn down where I work, if I don't like it, I will go somewhere else to work
Health department must take patients to private hospitals and pay the bills since they have abandoned their workers cry for years to have a decent increase
Why aren't they charged criminally? Their is footage of the thugs committing crime but no charges?
It is a sad day when the people of our country become savages with no Ubuntu or conscience to guide their behaviour.
💔
Charge them as nurses like teachers do it for the money aNd not the love of job
Criminals and schools dropouts love a good mob session
Is life not valued anymore? Even by those who swore an oath to look after it? Especially that of children?....
Animals.
Evil 😡💔

This is a tragic and disgusting story. This Union should be banned from operating at thi hospital.
So when the chips are down people reveal themselves to be what they truly are. Wow
It's necessary to take videos of these people for firing and legal purposes.
Barberic to say the least Attempted murder yes and violation of their code
And nobody says anything about them singing kill the boer!
