Western Cape govt granted interdict against Nehawu protesters
The Cape Town Labour Court has granted the Western Cape government an interdict against public servants affiliated with the National Education, Health, and Allied Workers' Union (Nehawu).
Both the department of health and social development sought a court interdict against Nehawu protesters. The order was granted on Friday.
It comes after four days of protest action, primarily isolated to the Khayelitsha area, which caused some disruption of healthcare services at Khayelitsha District Hospital (KDH) and Michael Mapongwana Community Day Centre.
Nehawu and several other public servant unions have been locked in a wage dispute with the government.
