Strikers at Pelonomi Hospital in Bloemfontein armed with sjamboks as frazzled, terrified doctors warn that patients will die

Depends if they're intelligent enough, I use the k-word in absolute rage myself but it takes a special kind of stupid to post it or say it in public, or around people that don't deserve it. Think screaming "****" in the middle of a sunday church service.

Words and songs are just sounds without intentions behind them - if I resort to the worst slurs imaginable it's to scare a criminal shitless, not because it's my overall attitude towards people.

In this instance they probably got the song on B side tape of the protesting greatest hits, alongside dancing and burning things to solve a problem. And I do feel angry myself, not because I believe they're intentionally malicious, but they're a waste of a human being that had all this potential and talent and they're using it for **** like this.

Reminds me of this:
 
I see now with the interim interdict being granted that SAMHS personnel will be deployed to the hospitals to provide assistance along with additional security.

I have no idea how the interdict will protect emergency medical services and is likely to remain under duress.

Just note, the interdict is temporary so I guess this will be the window in which the government will negotiate with the union to better meet their demands. The damage is done, the government lost.
 
If a ‘normal’ person has a sick person at home and then decided to stop giving them meds say oxygen or decide to let them bleed out and prevent them from getting medical attention.
Does this not constitute murder or attempted murder? Would you not be dragged to jail and court?

So, should the whole bunch not be charged with murder/ attempted murder?


What the f is wrong with this country.
Where is the DA and Afriform?


I like humans very little but at least I didn’t choose a career in human medicine/care.
If you have this attitude you should f off and go work at a till at your spaza shop

Our government is a joke.
You don’t negotiate with terrorists.

Somebody should advertise this to the unions.

Most of these unions, including NEHAWU, are COSATU affiliates and COSATU is a part of the tripartite alliance.

Then you factor in the successful propaganda that has positioned the DA as champions of so-called ''white monopoly capital'' and the DA has a better chance of winning a general election than swaying influential unions to their side.
 
Lol I like the way you guys think medicine is some noble trade where people must work for below their worth simply because they public health staff

Medicine is a job like any other job. Make no mistake if it wasn't illegal for Drs and pharmacists to strike they would've walked out.

If anybody dies here it's the department of health fault for not renumerating their professional staff properly. You okes have no idea how health staff are abused.

They can increase minimum wage by 9% but they can't pay their health sector staff properly? Keep in mind when you work for this pathetic government you doing 4 peoples job everyday as all the posts are frozen. These nurses are 2 to 4 in a ward during a shift .... that's 3 nurses in a 26 bed ward that's at capacity....

This happens everywhere have you guys forgotten the NHS strike in the UK?

Health staff are not a charity.... they never will be.

No one is suggesting people shouldn't be allowed to strike for better conditions, but preventing other workers who are not on strike from helping sick people is unconscionable and deserves to be met with the full force of the law.
