Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>JOHANNESBURG – Frustrated National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (NEHAWU) demonstrators have vowed to continue demonstrating until their demands are met.<\/p>\n

On Friday, NEHAWU together with other trade unions handed over a memorandum of demands, calling on the Department of Health to account for alleged corruption uncovered by the Special Investigating Unit, among other issues.<\/p>\n

In the absence of MEC of Health, Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko, unions shared that they felt disrespected by the MEC’s no-show during the protest.<\/p>\n

Handing over the memorandum of demands, NEHAWU raised concerns over the dilapidated state of hospitals, vacant posts, and what the union describes as a system crumbling under the weight of corruption.<\/p>\n

Provincial secretary Mzikayise Tshontshi said, “We are here to say to the Department of Health, our people deserve better. Our workers deserve better. We are saying to the Department of Health, finish the contracts that you have started. We are saying, therefore, comrades, in light of this crisis, we are demanding an immediate intervention.\u201d<\/p>\n

The union said it expects a full response from the department within 14 days.<\/p>\n
