“The defence force management and powers-that-be in Cuba could not explain this‚ could not provide a solution to them and could not address their concerns‚” he said.
“In the end‚ it simply boils down to requiring someone to study medicine in circumstances that are clearly unlawful and in breach of their employment contracts." He said the students were told that if they were not satisfied with the situation‚ they could get on a plane back to South Africa and be regarded as dismissed.
Greeff said they also received a letter dismissing them for so called misconduct‚ although the nature of the misconduct was not detailed in the letter and their members were not given any hearing. "We are not going to stand for this kind of thing. We consulted with the students. They are all our members and we have warned the defence force‚ through our lawyers‚ that they have until April 10 to reinstate these students and comply with the obligation in the employment contract‚" he said.
