The province has seen a number of its hospitals being damaged in different incidents over the last two-years - most recently, a gas tanker explosion that gutted parts of OR Tambo Hospital in Boksburg.
The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa in Gauteng has asked the health minister to allow nurses to wear black next week in memory of those who died in the gas tanker explosion in Boksburg.
Speaking at the memorial service held for those who were killed in the blast, the union s provincial chairperson Simphiwe Gada said that government officials proved to be capable of stealing funds meant to benefit the country.
Denosa s provincial chairperson Simphiwe Gada said that the protest emanated from the CEO s alleged lack of interest in addressing issues faced by the workers.
