(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - August 24, 2010: A public sector strike has bitterly divided South Africa as protesting workers are accused of deliberately endangering the lives of hospital patients.The crippling stoppage, now in its sixth day, has seen the army deployed to hospitals and the government health minister forced to return to his previous job as a doctor.
Demonstrating workers have been condemned for allegedly blocking hospital entrances, assaulting colleagues who want to work and even disrupting surgery in operating theatres.
Violence erupted again today when police fired teargas, rubber bullets and water cannons and arrested 67 public servants in Gauteng and Northern Cape provinces. There were several injuries.
