Cops have hands full as Nehawu strike intensifies

Protesting Nehawu workers in Gqeberha are part of the nationwide strike.At least seven people were arrested for public violence in various parts of the country

In Gauteng, police had to use stun grenades and rubber bullets to disperse protestors blocking the main entrance and roads leading into Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in Diepklooof, Soweto.In the Northern Cape, one person was arrested in Galeshewe for throwing faeces at the entrance of the home affairs offices.

“Allow healthcare workers to get to work so they can save lives, and do not stop patients from coming into our health facilities because if you continue to do so, you will have blood on your hands.” Two of the three workers had already had their wounds treated and bandaged at the general hospital when they spoke to the Daily Dispatch, and were preparing to open charges against the shooters.

Nehawu in the Eastern Cape said it would comply with a labour court order which restricts its members’ protest actions at department of health facilities while also intensifying their strike action, closing down other government departments.

GUNFRIENDLY_SA If you shoot them, will their colleagues next to them attend to them, or is that off limits for the strike?
