SABC News reports that employees at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto have been embarking on early morning and lunch hour protests since Monday.
They have been calling on the hospital CEO to step down over allegations of corruption, maladministration and nepotism. Those involved include members affiliated to National Education Health & Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu), the Democratic Nursing Organisation of SA (Denosa), the Health & Other Services Personnel Trade Union of SA (Hospersa) and the Public Servants Association (PSA). “We want to send a message to the department and say, you cannot investigate a person who is within the institution. The last time we engaged the department they said to us they cannot deal with the CEO anyhow. There’s a senior management handbook and they have to observe those processes. We agree but he cannot report on duty while you are conducting the investigation,” said spokesperson Yandiswa Zongula.
