Murdered for going to work during a strike

[schumi]

Durban - The killing of Thandazile Buthelezi, who worked as a security guard at Prince Mshiyeni Memorial Hospital in uMlazi, has doctors, nurses and support staff fearing for their lives.

Buthelezi, 46, was killed while she was on her way home from work on Thursday morning.

It is claimed that she was killed for working for an outsourced security company, Imbodla Security Services, while her colleagues were on strike.

The owner of Imbodla, Mike Gumede, said: “I allowed my employees to work because the striking workers said they had no problem with us working there and the hospital needed us. I was shocked when Thandizile was shot,” he said.

Gumede said he received a letter from the hospital on Friday telling him to cease his services for now.

Stay classy South Africa.

Horrible situation for workers in situations where they don't want to join a strike and if they do join in they could lose their job

Don't know what you guys are on about. Clearly this is Jan van Riebeeck's fault.

Life is cheap in Africa.

As long as the strike is legal their job will be safe.

And if it isn't? Do they go to work and risk getting killed?

When you're part of a group striking and protesting nothing and no one will touch you. The police may not shoot at you. You can do what you want to.

As long as the strike is legal their job will be safe.

And if they take pride in their work and actually want to do their job. A strange concept in Africa but still...

I am damned sure that the Constitution is SUPPOSED to ensure that
Everyone has the right to life.
To be free from all forms of violence from either public or private sources;
The right to freedom of association.


Oh wait, JZ broke that too

 

[thestaggy]

Gutter scum.

And nothing will happen because this trash country has no balls when it comes to unions and their actions.

 

[diesel]

unions are just organised criminal organisations , without fear and intimidation they will never succeed , no better way to scare people away from work than to kill one of them.

 

[cfilorux]

Collective punishment

In cases like this, the entire labour force should be fined 50% of their monthly pay. Somebody know, but nobody tell.

 

[Rouxenator]

Unions are nothing more than cartels - they do price fixing on a grand scale.

As long as you act as a mob and are of the right hue, then you get to do whatever the **** you feel like in this banana republic and nobody is held accountable.

Fatal shooting at KZN hospital 'unfortunate and unnecessary' - MEC

Durban - KwaZulu-Natal Health MEC Sibongiseni Dhlomo on Wednesday described a shooting incident at King Edward VIII Hospital, which left two people dead, as "unfortunate and unnecessary".

Two people were killed when a group of men, believed to be staff members demanding to be made permanent, stormed the hospital in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

KwaZulu-Natal police told News24 earlier that the two men, aged between 25 and 45, were shot by three unknown suspects.

It was believed the shootings, which occurred around 03:00, were related to the ongoing strike involving security guards and cleaners at a number of government hospitals in Durban. They are demanding that they be made permanent employees.

The police were investigating the possible link.

Dhlomo said two intruders were shot dead and a security guard was shot in the leg.

According to Dhlomo, the intruders were part of a group of aggrieved workers who were employed by outsourced security companies.

Strikers urged to use 'appropriate channels'

"The Department understands that the unknown armed men entered the hospital and a shootout ensued between them and security guards on duty. Two of the intruders were shot dead, and a security guard had to receive treatment in the trauma unit after being shot in the leg.

"A nurse was also assaulted while walking from the matron's office to the transport department."

Police found one body at the hospital and another was discovered at the Congella Park sports field.

Dhlomo said: "This is a very unfortunate and unnecessary incident. I would like to once again urge any aggrieved individuals to desist from perpetrating acts of violence, and instead follow the appropriate channels, using recognised labour formations, to air their grievances.

"We also wish to call upon law enforcement authorities to work to ensure that people who break the law, or those behind acts of sabotage, are apprehended and made to face the full might of the law."

The department said no patients had to be evacuated because of the incident.
