*DENOSA deplores MEC arrogance*
* *
The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa in the North West
province has learnt with shock and dismay about the MEC for Health and
Social Development Rebecca Kasienyane's decision to close down Mmabatho
College of Nursing.
This comes after an avalanche of pressing issues confronted by nurse
students have been left unresolved by the MEC. Students have since June
08, 2010 boycotted classes.
Issues in question in this college include the retrospective payment of
housing allowance, Uniform allowance/Uniform, Residences that are in a
state of mess and the dragging case of the suspended principal.
DENOSA under the leadership of its federation COSATU held a meeting with
the MEC in an attempt to logically resolve these issues on June 23,
2010. The MEC in that meeting promised to come back to labour with a
wayfoward. In the middle of that process she arrogantly closes down the
college after the students correctly refused to meet with her without
representation from labour today.
We strongly condemn the arrogance demonstrated by the MEC and we have
observed with disgust her tactics of alienating DENOSA on decision-
making engagements in the province. The MEC has failed to meet DENOSA
and discuss issues since she took office.
DENOSA calls on the MEC to reverse her decision go back to the round
table and resolve these issues urgently.
