Strikes by Zimbabwean healthcare workers now punishable by jail time: New law - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

The newly gazetted Health Service Amendment Act now criminalises industrial action by healthcare workers lasting more than three days and offenders could now face a fine or imprisonment of up to six months.

Now the Zimbabwean government seeks to clamp down on such work stoppages by classifying the industry, including doctors and nurses, as an essential service. Most government-run hospitals are currently understaffed following an exodus of doctors and nurses leaving the country. In the last two years over 4 000 health workers are reported to have left the country according to Zimbabwe’s health watchdog.“What I see, in my own opinion, is most people are going to go into private practice because people are scared, and most people are going to move out of the country because of that law. It also brings down morale which is not there already at the moment.

1960s Ian smith UDI laws in 2023. What has changed. Is this the freedom? Substitute apatheid system Where are the continental bodies ? MbalulaFikile Are these sanctions at play?

Brilliant.

What does the EFF think about this

Zimbabwean cowards will run all over the place instead of facing the tyrant head on

Viva Zim freedom...

South Africa is next with such laws

No problem. They'll cross the border into South Africa to protest.

Brilliant...and that should include all emergency staff across the Globe..people's lives vs an oath should never be negotiable..one don't apply for a job at Spur if you don't want to work over weekends..the same applies.. it comes with the territory..
