Hospital workers’ ‘go-slow’ continues

Health workers at the Bela-Bela Local Hospitalare continuing with their go-slow, following arecent protest to raise their demands with theirsuperiors before the Easter holidays. WilsonMatlaisane of NEHAWU confirmed that thego-slow is still taking place as the members areawaiting management from the district level tointervene. He added that if matters arediscussed internally and the gatheringsubsequently fails to reach amicableresolutions, the external management has to beengaged for further intervention.

The go-slow started from Tuesday, 8 Marchas a means of drawing the hospital’smanagement’s attention to the employees’problems. Their memorandum of grievancesincluded among others shortage of staff, thedissatisfying Performance ManagementDevelopment System evaluation process,overtime payments, the prioritisation ofoutsourcing services and poor security.

Various unions’ executives representing theworkers including NEHAWU, DENOSA,HOSPESA and PSA met several times with the

Lizzy Bapelahospital’s management to discuss the workers’demands and reach satisfying solutions, but thematter is still in discussions.

“We sent all necessary documents to amember from the province who will berepresenting the district manager and we arewaiting for them to respond with a date for ameeting between us and their office. We areback at work but still on a go-slow, meaningwe are now not compromising what we wereappointed for in our line of work. Themanagement has not yet met or resolved evenone of our demands, which is why we optedfor upper management. If they also fail us, wewill resort to the MEC’s office, failure towhich we will engage into what we call astrike,” said Matlaisane.

Dressed in their unions’ T-shirts, the workerschanted and danced throughout the hospitalcorridors, calling to their managers to listen totheir demands. They were also singing againsta rumour saying that whoever is participatingin the go-slow will be charged and not paidfor the days spent not working.

Meanwhile, the workers stood by theirstatement that they will not attend to patientssent from Modimolle’s FH Odendaal Hospital

unless they receiveextra payment forthese additionalpatients. Patientsfrom the hospitalwere also leftunattended when theworkers mobilisedfor support in allhospital units onWednesday, 16 March. At that time, theunions’ representatives were attending anothermeeting with management.

The hospital management promised torespond with comment after the meeting withrepresentatives of the unions.

He said a constructor is already on siteand the electrification process will becompleted in due course.

Another borehole was also drilled atExtension 10 and according to Shika, it wasstill being tested.

The re-drilling of a borehole in Extension5 proved fruitless, as the hole found nowater.

Extension 5 residents have beenexperiencing severe water shortages andrely mostly on water tankers which aredispatched by the municipality to the area.

Shika said the water tankers will bedispatched to Extensions 5 and 13 until the

situation has been fully resolved.He said Extension 5 residents are still

experiencing water challenges because theyare situated on a high lying area.As a solution, the local pressure tower has

been repaired and was expected to startassisting in boosting water supply to thisproblematic area of Extension 5.The drilling work process will now focus

on Modimolle’s Extensions 8 and 13.Shika has indicated that the municipality is

also working hand in glove with theDepartment of Water and Sanitation, andMagalies Water in refurbishing the waterpurification plant, to ensure that the

drinking water quality in the area improves.He told The BEAT that the municipality

will continue to implement tight waterrestrictions, and water cuts will be appliedin all areas at specified times to reducestrain on the main supply system.“We are still pleading with members of

the community to use water sparingly.Those who are running car wash businessare also urged to use water with extracaution. Water leakages must also bereported immediately, and if faults are onthe consumer’s side, we are advising themto find an authorised way of fixing them,”he said.

Escalators needed for upper level centre shops Justin Steyn

A number of shops opened on the lowerlevel of the Pick ‘n Pay Bushveld centrein November last year, while its secondfloor remains mainly empty with only afew shops at its entrance.

Upgrades to the centre were completed

in July of 2015 and it now boasts a secondstorey which is planned be home to at leastthirteen shops.

The centre’s lower level now hosts a newPep store, extended PNA, a larger Shoe cityand a new coffee shop named CaféHaarhoff.

The centre’s leasing agent, Anton Killian,told The BEAT that the shops at the upper

level have remained vacant awaiting thearrival of an escalator to the area.“We have ordered an escalator for the

centre and the shops will only be occupiedonce they have been installed and declaredoperational,” he said in a telephoneconversation.When asked if any of the planned new

shops such as Steers and Panasonic will be

part of the centre, Killian said that he willhave to verify this with his head office.In July last year Killian said that not all

of the shops that were planned to openwill do so at the centre.According to Killian a gym was planned

to be housed at the centre, but later pulledout because the owners were not happywith where they would be located.

Julius Malema, formerly known as the head of the EFFpolitical party, has declared himself King of South Africa.

His Serene Majesty Julius I said in a statement that plansfor his coronation on 29 February 2017 are proceeding well.

“Of course it will be a very big affair,” King Julius said. “Iplan to ride down Church Street on an elephant. There willbe a parade and a spectacle so that all my subjects mayadmire me.” King Julius also plans to distribute free R100

coins stamped with his likeness duringthe event.

He expressed his hope that SouthAfricans across the country will

embrace the new monarchy and helphim in his effort to throw off the

shackles of democracy.“I believe that this is the best

possible move for the country as awhole. We need a united, strongleadership which is not chained

to political agendas and canmove strongly to take SouthAfrica into a shining newfuture!”

In the same statement,he announced hisintention to appointincumbent presidentJacob Zuma as hisMinister of Treasury.

“Jacob and I discussed the matter,” King Julius said.“We both believe that it is time for him to step awayfrom the pressures of the presidency and into a morerelaxing job. Since the country has no money, noposition could possibly be more relaxing thanTreasury!”Political commentators were divided in their opinions on

the coming regime change. Those in favour pointed outthat monarchy has always been quite a stable form ofgovernment, while others pointed out that monarchsthemselves have never been known for their stability.“Haven’t you people read your Shakespeare?” one well-

known personality demanded during a brief interview ashe was waiting for his flight to board. “Stick a crown on aman and he goes cuckoo-bananapants in a week and thenit’s all over bar the shouting and the murder.”In a later statement, King Julius also announced his

intention to free South Africa’s neighbouring countriesand nations across the world from “the paralyzingshackles and false promises of so-called ‘democracy’”and bring them to a healthier mode of government.He said that he fully expects to have South African

boots on the ground in the United States before the endof 2017, and to have the region pacified by 2018 at thelatest.“Having come to realise that royalty is my destiny, it is

my right, no, my duty, to bring the world together undera stable government for the betterment of all,” he said.* We eagerly await further developments, and hope

that you enjoyed The BEAT’s April Fool’s joke.

Primary School (Sekhukhune region).Benny’s Sports Development and Academy

will be playing in the provincial finals for thethird time. They previously competed in the2013 and 2015 winning the provincial titleboth times, but not managing to win thenationals. They are hoping that this will betheir year to be the first team to representLimpopo in the world finals.

During a media briefing, the coach RichardSidebi said that their school is a sportsacademy so they go out and recruit the bestplayers they can.

“The challenge, however, is to get theparents of talented youngsters to agree tosend their sons to the school. There’s afeeling that soccer is a short-term career andit is not guaranteed that the children willmake it, so they are often reluctant to allow

their kids to even try,” he said.“This is the first time that Sekakate Primary

School has qualified for the provincial finals,which is a great achievement for a ruralschool where the kids rely on the schoolfeeding scheme to get a solid meal everyday,” said coach Douglas Magabane.At the provincial finals, their biggest

challenge will probably come from Benny’sSport where the players have bettercoaching, facilities and equipment.However, they have some skilled players

this year and plan to give Benny’s a run fortheir money.“There’s a chance that Benny’s will spot a

player or two and scout them, which wouldbe a good thing because it would be anopportunity for them to better their lives,”said Magabane.
