Four people have died, likely as a result of the strike by the National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union , health minister Joe Phaahla said on Thursday.

He said disciplinary action would be taken against employees violating the court order obtained on Wednesday.Image:On Wednesday evening, the province obtained a court interdict in the Johannesburg labour court against Nehawu to stop its members obstructing health services to patients. Phaahla was briefed about the situation outside Helen Joseph Hospital, where striking workers on Thursday blocked the main entrance.“It can't be correct, if that is the main gate [then] no-one has the right, with or without a court order ... to obstruct access to any health facility. So what is happening at that main gate is not correct.

He told police to act against those disobeying the court order, saying managers would also take “administrative action” against the culprits.
