Health minister seeks Cele’s help as Nehawu strike gets nastyHealth minister Joe Phaahla has called on police minister Bheki Cele to protect patients and health institutions as the public healthcare strike turned violent. Fire the lot of them and throw them in jail. Absolutely disgusting The courts actually contradicted the strike as unlawful. Where rare the police to protect vulnerable patients and compassionate staff.most of those nurses look overweight to me. They look like fat doughballs. Doesn't look like they do much work. The minister must lesson the worker's they want 10 percent so to call police it can't help
