Zwide clinic staff in Eastern Cape protest over working conditions

Healthcare workers from Zwide Clinic in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape embarked on a strike on Monday with complaints of shortages of staff and medicine. The clinic is also without an operational manager since a retirement in November last year and has seven nurses on duty each day.

About 100 clinic patients - including elderly people and infants - were queueing outside this morning, before being sent away due to the strike.
The clinic committee claims that the absence of an operational manager has also affected staff conduct. Our reporter Nandipha Plaatjie has more.
