The Labour Appeal Court has ruled partly in favour of the National Education Hospital and Allied Workers Union (NEHAWU) on its strike.

The Labour Appeal Court interdicted any industrial action by trade union Nehawu, its members and employees.

The Health Minister said the deaths reported at the Thelle Mogoerane District Hospital could be linked to the Nehawu wage strike.

Phaahla visited Thelle Mogoerane District Hospital on Monday morning where all services came to a complete standstill last week.

NEHAWU’s general-secretary Zola Saphetha told the media on Sunday that government has been arrogant during wage negotiations.

Gauteng Health spokesperson Motalatale Modiba says that emergency personnel have been threatened by members of NEHAWU.

Health spokesperson Motalatale Modiba says failure to report to work will result in the ‘no work no pay’ principle being applied for NEHAWU.
