Members of the National Education Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) are on strike at hospitals across Gauteng.

Union members demand a wage increase of 10% and a housing allowance of R2 500.

The strike began two days ago and has affected a number of hospitals including Tembisa Hospital.

This morning services at the hospital ground to a halt as Nehawu members prevented staff from providing services to patients.

This is a peaceful protest going on at Tembisa hospital. We are terrified, cannot get access to treat our patients. Can anyone do something about this unruly and uncaring behaviour now please!!! pic.twitter.com/blxmPJ8K1V
