Operations at a Gauteng hospital were completely halted yesterday after health workers downed tools demanding a canteen, among others.
"There is no food because of the strike. Last night there was only one nurse in charge inside the ward," Dube said.
Delisile Magubane, who is pregnant, said she was referred to the clinic because her due date had passed. A nurse, who asked not to be named, said they would not stop the protest until they get what they want. About five staff members who work in the hospital kitchen complained that they had to use one pot to cook meals for the entire hospital."We are tired of working under pressure. We have complained that the other pots are damaged but nothing is done to replace them," she said.
