Netwerk24 reports that on Tuesday afternoon the Department of Health in the Northern Cape will be challenging the National Education Health and Allied Workers' Union (Nehawu) with an urgent interdict application in the high court to halt any further disruptive conduct. This will follow the chaos that took place on Monday morning when protesting members of the union locked the gates to the Kimberley Hospital.
They also set alight to tree trunks and overturned cement rubbish bins. Amongst the reasons for the protestors’ unhappiness was that previous questions about the departmental organogram were not answered.
